Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
The world's oldest and largest koala sanctuary, the Lone Pine
Koala Sanctuary is home to more than just the cute and cuddly
koala, but also to kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, wombats, echidnas
and various species of reptiles as well as Australian parrots,
cockatoos, kookaburras and cassowaries. Lucky visitors are actually
able to handle the koalas here (for a fee) making this the only
sanctuary in the world where this is possible - a dream come true
for many. Feeding and petting is also permitted and is completely
monitored, making this an ideal activity for families travelling
with small children.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.

Open daily from 8.30am to 5pm
