What to expect

Your photographer guide will drive you slowly through Mikkira Station's scrubland, stopping where wildlife is most active. Koalas are the main target, but you'll likely encounter other native animals depending on the season and time of day. The pace is relaxed—this isn't a race to tick boxes, but a methodical search punctuated by stops where your guide spots something. You'll pause for refreshments mid-tour. The vehicle is comfortable and air-conditioned, which matters on hot days. Wildlife sightings aren't guaranteed, but your guide's expertise significantly improves odds.

Good to know

Spinal injury sufferers should check with the operator before booking due to vehicle terrain. Bring binoculars, a hat, and sunscreen. The tour runs year-round but animal activity varies seasonally. Public transport options exist nearby if you're relying on buses.
