Mikkira Station used to be famous for its sheep, but there are some much cuter inhabitants these days. Situated 20km south of Port Lincoln in South Australia this excellent experience will bring you as close as possible to Australia’s most famous and adorable animal – the koala.
The key to the area’s abundant koala population is partly down to the numerous Manna Gum trees that grow here. They provide a great habitat and plentiful food for the little guys. You can camp next to trees full to the brim with wild koalas, a rare treat these days when most visitors to Australia only get to see them through the bars of a zoo or sanctuary.
At Mikkira Station you’ll get to see koalas in their natural habitat and observe natural behaviour and aww over the joeys hanging onto their mothers. They move from tree to tree quite often and seeing them toddle along the ground is a gorgeous sight.
