Koala Spotting at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary | Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast

Justin Vacula of the Hurdy Gurdy Travel Podcast visits Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia, and captures several koalas resting high in the trees. As he walks around the enclosure, he points out their fluffy ears, round noses, wide bodies, and relaxed poses.

The video features multiple koalas at different heights, including one that is awake and more active than the others. That koala climbs along the tree, shifts around, and scratches itself, creating the best close-up moment of the visit.

Join Justin for this fun wildlife encounter at one of Australia’s most famous animal sanctuaries, and stay tuned for more travel and animal content.
