Heed the call from the wild as Hello Koala comes to CAMPBELLTOWN!

Thursday, March 11, 2021

It's time to say HELLO to the latest attraction that has found it's home in our beloved Campbelltown across April.

Spend some 'koala-ty' time with the family and visit the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan as well as other locations in Campbelltown to meet the award winning Hello Koalas kicking off from April 1.

The trail encompasses 22 one-metre high koala sculptures, hand-painted by Australian artists [Pictured]. The Hello Koalas sculpture trail is a unique award-winning concept, conceived by AHA and centred in Port Macquarie. The trail aims to promote koala conservation and conservation of other threatened animal and plant species in Australia.

Enjoy the bespoke trail curated by Arts and Health Australia Pty Ltd (AHA) and presented by Campbelltown City Council. The trail will be hosted across several Council sites as well the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan.

The Koalas will be located at:

Campbelltown City Council Administration Building, Cnr Queen & Broughton Sts, Campbelltown
Campbelltown Art Centre, 1 Art Gallery Rd, Campbelltown
Campbelltown Visitor Centre, 15 Old Menangle Rd, Campbelltown
Ingleburn Library, Cnr Oxford and Cumberland Rds, Ingleburn
The Australian Botanic Garden, 362 Narellan Rd, Mount Annan
Acces to Council venues will depend on the normal operating hours of the venue.

To help find the koalas and learn about each one we suggest downloading the trail guide from April 1. When you visit the Garden, you can use the Garden Explorer link on our Australian Botanic Garden website and choose the Tour option and then the Hello Koalas Tour option to find the koala’s on the site.

Trail maps will also be available from the Garden Visitor Centre and select Campbelltown Council locations.
