PLACES OF INTEREST IN AND AROUND PERTH No 6

COHUNU KOALA PARK

Cohunu Koala Park is a wildlife sanctuary on 14 ha (35 acres) of bushland in Byford, near Perth, Western Australia.

The park and its koala colony were established in 1982 at Mills Park Road in Gosnells, with four koalas from South Australia.  In 2005 the park was moved to Nettleton Road in Byford. The koala colony now has over 25 koalas.


Between 10am and 4pm daily, at an additional charge, visitors to the park may be photographed cuddling a koala.  Visitors are also permitted to touch and hand feed various other park animals.


A miniature railway built by volunteers runs around the park, operating on most weekends and public holidays.

I've not been to Cohunu since it moved from Gosnells so another item added to my 'to do' list.  The weather has cooled somewhat so am hoping to get out and about a little more.
