Our annual Hello Koalas Festival is the WORLD’S FIRST festival celebrating Australia’s best-loved animal, the koala.
It’s free to follow the Trail. A large number of our 91 Hello Koalas sculptures are in outdoor locations, while others have homes at local businesses and community organisations.
Here are the Details for 8th Hello Koalas Festival’s BIG KOALA TREASURE HUNT – you can register online below or visit Hello Koalas Gift Shop and fill out the form.
