Billabong Zoo opened in 1986, primarily as a breeding centre for koalas, together with a wallaby and kangaroo hand-feeding area. Outside the entrance is The Big Koala Family, representing the koala heritage of the zoo.
Today the Zoo exhibits over 80 species and cares for over 220 animals. It is open every day of the year (except Christmas Day) from 9am to 5pm. And throughout the year holds functions and events after 5pm.
Billabong Zoo has been voted the region’s Top Attraction on a number of years as well as receiving other Awards for service and value.
