The world's first koala sanctuary was built in 1927 in Australia. Named the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, it was, and still is, located at Fig Tree Pocket, a riverside suburb of Brisbane, the capital city of Queensland.
Koala Park Sanctuary was created in 1930.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was created in 1927.
Koalas are wild, but there are some exceptions. A koala which has been kept in a protected sanctuary may be tame enough to handle, but generally this is limited to just a few.
The oldest known koala was a 23-year-old female named Sarah, kept at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The oldest known male koala was a 22-year-old koala named Tim Tam, and kept at Tama Zoo in Japan.

The Words three sleepiest animals are the Koala, Sloth, Possum and Armadillo. The Koala sleeps for 22 hours, the Sloth for 20 hours, the possum and armadillo sleep for 19 hours.
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is positioned on a flood prone area of Fig Tree Pocket, one of the worst affected suburbs. Fortunately, the sanctuary has some high points, so many areas of Lone Pine survived the flood. Whilst there was initially no news available about Lone Pine, its website (see related link) was operating again from 16 January, and photographs indicated there had been some flood damage. In the end, about 120 koalas had to be moved to higher ground, along with many other native animals. Apparently, not a single animal was lost, but there was extensive damage to the animal enclosures.
The Aborigines had known about the koala for centuries, but it was difficult for the Europeans to discover the koala. It was 11 years after the arrival of the First Fleet that the koala was even seen, because its camouflage is so effective.
