Koalas @ Calmsley Hill City Farm
We have 3 koalas at Calmsley Hill; Yuki (pictured in this photo with Tara Gunter) is the oldest being 14yrs old and she came from Coffs Harbour but has been at Calmsley Hill since she was 1 year old. Gumnut 10 yrs old, and Caramello 8 yrs old, were both bred on site.
Interesting FACTS :
- Koalas will eat around 30-50 different types of gum tree and there are approx 600-800 Eucalyptus species in Australia.
- Koalas have two thumbs on each hand and a backward facing pouch.
- Koalas sleep around 18-20 hours a day.
We can preserve their habitat by not cutting down their habitat and locking up our cats and dogs at night.
Come along to Calmsley Hill City Farm at 2pm EVERY DAY and you too can see our Koala’s and hear our keepers talk, you may even be lucky enough to pat one!!!!
