Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Happy National Volunteer Week 💚

This week, we’re celebrating the incredible volunteers who help make Lone Pine so special.

From supporting our wildlife team behind the scenes to welcoming guests and sharing their knowledge with visitors each day, our volunteers play an important role across the sanctuary.

Their time, care, passion, and dedication help us create meaningful experiences for our guests while supporting the care and conservation of Australian wildlife.

To every one of our volunteers, thank you. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Lone Pine family 🐨

They’re built for the trees, with specialised hands for climbing, a wedge-shaped cartilage plate for stability, and vision adapted for low light.
