TyronneKoala Park West Penannt Hills
April 2nd 2008 09:26
It's not exactly a zoo, nor it is a sanctuary. It's just Koala Park and is often on the list of many bus / tourist groups.
It's not often talked about, mostly due to its location. It's right in the middle of Sydney north west suburbia of Pennant Hills/West Penannt Hills/Cherrybrook, it's not exactly a tourist friendly location. However, it has a long history and personally I am surprised it has survived that long. (Its history dates back to 1930)
I remember being taken there as a kid, when I have just arrived in Australia as the tiny little overseas student. The turkeys, chickens, and other land based birds roam freely within the park while the koalas had their own little area where you can go see and hug one. I am not sure if you still can hold a koala but come feeding time is when its the best for the cameras - it's when you actually see koalas bothered to move.
Plenty of other native Australian animals are also being bred in Koala Park.
Unfortunately, its location means you will either have to join a bus tour, or drive yourself. The only buses running from the city only run in the afternoon of weekdays. It's not at all close to any other form of public transport.
Entry fee: $19 Adults, $9 Children.
