Koala Conservation Wild Breeding Visitor Centre - Guulabaa - Place of Koala

Generous donations to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital following the Black Summer Bushfires helped them realise their goal of building a Wild Koala Breeding facility in Cowarra State Forest (just off the Port Macquarie highway interchange). Named it ‘Guulabaa’, which means ‘Place of the Koala’ (Gathang language).

They have partnered with Bunyah Land Council, Forestry Corporation of NSW, The Hello Koalas Sculpture Trail and Wildnets Adventure Park to make Guulabaa a fantastic and welcoming place for the public to visit, learn and play.

The Wild Koala Breeding Visitor Experience will open in early December 2024.

At Koala Conservation Wild Breeding Guulabaa you will be able to observe resident koala yards from the viewing decks, noting that the koala breeding yards are kept away from public view as it’s essential to keep them as close to the wild habitat as possible. However, you’ll likely spot some of the resident koalas. You can also immerse yourself in the interactive, educational koala experience, learn about their Wild Koala Breeding program, view koala care in action in the new koala clinic, watch and learn as they prepare koala food.
