I'm so lucky to have encountered a wild koala in South Australia
During my trip to South Australia, one of my goals was to take a photo with a koala. In Australia, only South Australia and Queensland allow you to hold koalas, so I met a koala baby at the Adelaide Hills Wildlife Park.
Later, I also visited the Eyre Peninsula, a 40-minute flight from Adelaide to Port Lincoln. Port Lincoln has lots of seafood, marine animals, and national parks, and of course, Mikkira Station, a private sanctuary. Established in 1842, it was settled and built into a beautiful home, and now the sanctuary is home to many wild koalas, but seeing them is a matter of luck.
The weather was cloudy and not too hot when I arrived, so many small animals were out and about. Along the way, I saw emus, kangaroos, and other wild animals, and of course, I found 3 adorable koalas. Although they are wild, they seemed not at all afraid of people, but with their speed, they couldn't run away even if they were.
Wild animals should not be touched, so we could take photos from a very close distance, but we also didn't make loud noises or touch them, allowing them a comfortable environment and a pleasant afternoon.

Tips: Fly from China to Adelaide, then transfer to Port Lincoln from Adelaide. There are many fun things to do in Port Lincoln that require a local guide, and many places you can't enter on your own. Adelaide also has a lot of fun places to visit, such as the Gorge Wildlife Park, the German Village, and the library at the University of Adelaide are all great to explore. You can also go to Barossa to taste wine, as South Australia's wines have a rich historical heritage.

Wild Koala Park Mikkira Station. The first time I saw so many koalas, its so cute. Some small partners said that they can hold them casually? The regulations are not allowed, and the tour guide also told us not to hold the koala.
I didnt see the koala that had been sleeping in the zoo. The koala I saw was squinting or jumping. You see, like the landlords silly son, Im looking at us, no matter the photo below. How crazy we are, maybe I am thinking: this stupid human!
It is said that the land is private. In 1842, Adam Borthwick and his family became the first settlers in the area. Now his descendants are still here, and the old lady opens the door every day on time, although the door is closed. There is nothing worthwhile in it.
