The Logan-Beaudesert Region in Queensland is home to several wildlife parks and nature reserves that offer visitors the opportunity to experience and interact with Australia's unique flora and fauna. Some of the notable parks and reserves in the area include Daisy Hill Conservation Park which is located amidst tall eucalypt forests and sun-dappled melaleuca wetlands, providing a glimpse into the region's diverse ecosystems and native wildlife. As the world's first and largest koala sanctuary, it is a must-visit destination for animal lovers, where they can meet and have their photo taken with one of the 130+ koalas on site.
Another attraction in the area is the Walkabout Creek Wildlife Centre, just 12 km from Brisbane's CBD. This wildlife centre is home to native wildlife housed in exhibits that mirror their natural habitats. Visitors can explore the nocturnal house, walk through the subtropical aviary, and encounter native animals in their natural surroundings. The Daisy Hill Koala Centre, while not exclusively a wildlife park, is another opportunity to spot native animals in the Logan area. Additionally, O'Reilly's Rainforest Retreat, located in the scenic rim region, offers the chance to see aerial predators such as owls and other native species.
In addition to these wildlife parks, the Logan-Beaudesert Region also boasts several family parks such as Flagstone Adventure Park, Darlington Parklands, Funderwood Hollow Underwood Park, and Pirate Ship Park. These parks provide outdoor recreational activities and opportunities to connect with nature, making them great destinations for families looking to enjoy the outdoors together.
