Daisy Hill Koala Centre

Built by the Queensland Government as a dedicated koala education facility, the Daisy Hill Koala Centre was opened to the public in 1995, extensively refurbished in 2009 and most recently in 2018. Nestled amongst eucalypt trees and featuring a large outdoor koala enclosure and many interactive displays, the Daisy Hill Koala Centre is a unique place to learn about koalas and their conservation.

Daisy Hill Koala Centre wildlife officers deliver keeper talks twice a day providing information on the animals within the centre and the roles of Daisy Hill Koala Centre staff. For daily talk times, check the blackboard at the entrance of the centre.

What to see in the Centre

Our resident koalas can be seen from two different level viewing boardwalks at the Daisy Hill Koala Centre.

Visitors are not able to handle or pat the koalas.

Meet our male koala

Moreton

Moreton is a mature adult Male.

Unlike the female koalas, Moreton has a scent gland on his chest and a larger, more prominent nose and his chin sticks out further.

If you are lucky, you might be able to witness Moreton practicing his bellow (snore-like inhalations).
