The Koala Patting Photo opportunity is available for individuals, as well as groups of friends and family to a maximum of 5 people per photo. Individuals may also choose a Python Holding Photo.
For every photo purchased $2 goes to the North Queensland Wildlife Trust – for the conservation and research of native fauna, wildlife care and local habitats. Funds raised include protection and care for wild Koalas.
