The park was opened in 1989, 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.
The park contains a number of native and exotic animals.[2]
The park also contains picnic barbecues, gardens, and billabongs (small lakes) covered with water lilies and stocked with koi carp. It also features a cafe in the main entrance building.[2]
The park has a number of education talks through the day including a Koala photo session.
The park breeds Koalas to send to other zoos in the Australasian breeding program.[3]
