Informative - The tour provided quite a lot of environmental information both on the recovery from the recent fires and some of the work required to sustain the wildlife. We did see a number of Koalas although as I expected they were largely hard to see and high in the trees. There were a few Kangaroos although plenty of evidence of a larger number. It is a wildlife reserve not a zoo and my wife was a bit concerned that there were only a few photo opportunities and too much talking so didn't enjoy it as much as she had expected. It's probably not as tourist friendly as some of the other centres but it was badly affected by the fires and is still recovering.
