Parks records of the EXACT location of the first koala enclosure (in 1939) are basically non existent. Your photo on this blog says “Enclosure area” It would be great for historical records to know EXACTLY where that sight is. Please contact me if you can help. Thanks.

The location of the cleared area I found is on this page above. You would have seen the signage. That’s the best I can do.
