Mikkira Station: Wild Koala Safari in Ancient Mallee

Wander through a 150-year-old working sheep station where wild koalas lounge in the blue gum canopy just metres overhead — no fences, no feeding, no crowds. One of Australia's most authentic and accessible wild koala encounters outside a zoo.

What to expect

Ancient blue gums tower over meandering bush tracks as resident koalas sleep, feed, and occasionally descend to cross your path. Emus, kangaroos, and echidnas share the property. A guided option pairs you with a station hand who spots koalas in the upper canopy that most visitors miss entirely and shares the deep history of this remarkable working property.
