Brisbane / Daisy Hill Koala Refuge

Daisy Hill Koala Refuge is adjacent to a suburban neighborhood in Brisbane -- the neighborhood where Phil's sis and bro in-law live. While it is dedicated to the preservation of Koala's, it is also home to Wallaby's, native birds, spiders, kangaroo's.

Despite it's urban location it is a peaceful refuge for people as well as native wildlife. We saw hikers and joggers as well as the visitors in autos. There is a long circular route with 5 or 6 parking areas spaced equidistance around the refugee. The first parking area is adjacent to the observatory.

We spent a good while walking in various parts of the park and managed to spot two Koala's, a lot of Wallaby's, a Kookaburra, and some amazing spiders.
