Exactly what we wanted, hamburger, awesome steak sandwich, pie and pizza. Don't miss the back 'dining' room, nice hot fire and tv. Staff really friendly.

Make sure you buy some bird seed and head up grey river road or beside the caravan park. Loads of sulphur crested cockatoos, ducks, rosellas and king parrots. Saw 3 koalas in the nearby area at varying heights. The resident kookabura were also a treat.

Once we parked, a kookaburra was as described on the fence outside Cafe Koala! It was really exciting to see a real living as all the artists in Melbourne described and mound them in clay. Of course the more common are the ducks, fowls and parrots that we only get to see in our zoo but here, they are just walking you. As we towards the river, we sighted a big animal up the hill and it was a kangaroo and seeing them in the wild is very different from seeing them in a zoo/sanctuary. It was an amazing feeling seeing them hop in the wild looking for food. As we thought it was quite done, we went to the toilets and when walking out to get our car, a koala was just sitting on a tree that is just so low and visible. It was awake for the few seconds and it went back to sleep! I was telling my hubby we are just so lucky to spot so many wildlife here and it had been really exciting and full of surprises! It's a must stop while driving in GOR!!

I decided to grab a raspberry cookie for a snack and it was absolutely delicious!

Great coffee and souvenirs, kind people working here. The best part is, they have a great food menu and options of rice, roti breads and even curries. Very good for a substantial lunch.
