Location Info
Hello Koalas Gift Shop is sometimes hard to find. There is a group of businesses which have a signpost on Bellbowrie Street saying Bellbowrie Park Business Centre. On the street front is a business called PC Pitstop. There is a side street signposted on Belbowrie Street, between PC PitStop and Car Clean which is located on the other side of the side street housed in a bright orange building. Walk or drive down that side street signposted Bellowrie Park and ahead of you will be Hello Koalas Gift Shop on the corner of a group of business units. Opposite Hello Koalas Gift Shop is Casseras Bakehouse and Cafe. Great pastries and coffee. Google Map
