The Cohunu Koala Park colony was established in 1982 with the arrival of 4 koalas from South Australia. It now boasts more than 25 koalas in its population. Our colony in Western Australia has an increase of approximately 4 baby Joey's each year. 

  Koalas are marsupials, the female carries it's young in the pouch for 6 months then on her back for a further 4 months.

  It lives almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves which have a poor nutritional value, thus to conserve their energy koalas sleep 18 to 20 hours per day, rarely drinking but relying on the water content of the eucalyptus leaves.

  The average life span of a koala is 10 to 14 years in the wild and considerably longer in captivity. It is indigenous to the east coast of Australia. Koala numbers in the wild are on the decline due to the destruction of their natural habitat.

  Supporting our koala colony by  purchasing  a souvenir photo helps to ensure our koala population at Cohunu is maintained and developed. Proceeds go to the continuing koala research program at Cohunu Koala Park.
