Look for wild koalas along the Otway coast

Scan eucalyptus canopy around established Great Ocean Road habitat with a guide or from public tracks, keeping voices low and distance generous. Never touch, feed or crowd a koala, and park only where you are safely off the road. Moving through Great Ocean Road, then Koala, then local return gives the visit a deliberate sequence and keeps the landscape, people, culture or wildlife connected to the activity itself.

Use an accredited operator or ranger-led programme, keep the required wildlife distance and never block an animal's route. Treat sightings as uncertain, avoid feeding or flash, and recheck seasonal access and welfare guidance. For Koala, confirm the live official advice again immediately before the visit. Check weather, access, transport and any capacity-controlled booking directly with the responsible operator or authority before departure.
