Billabong Zoo is a 10-acre (4.0 ha) wildlife park and koala breeding centre located in Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia. It was opened in 1986, and features a wide variety of Australian and exotic animals.[2]

History

The park was opened in 1986, and was a major breeding centre for koalas. Starting in 2005, new ownership of the park has seen it move from simply breeding koalas to a more common wildlife park.

Exhibits

The park contains a number of native and exotic animals.[3] [4][5]

Facilities

The park also contains picnic barbeques, gardens, and billabongs (small lakes) covered with water lilies and stocked with koi carp and a visiting speckled longfin eel. It also features a café in the main entrance building.[3]

Education

The park has a number of education talks through the day including a koala photo session.

Conservation

The park breeds koalas to send to other zoos in the Australasian breeding program.[6]

In 2011 the park joined the Zoo and Aquarium Association and has participated in a number of species management programs including koalas and snow leopards.
