About 20 minutes from the city center, Lone Pine is the largest koala sanctuary in the world, with more than 130 of these cute marsupials clinging to the trees in natural settings. For an extra fee, you can score a one-on-one koala cuddle or hold a snake or a bird of prey, such as an owl or eagle-all with a special photo opportunity."

"Cuddle a cute l’il Koala Bear at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and then head to the city centre to climb City Hall’s bell tower before finishing off the day with one of 200 beers from the Brews Brothers Microbrewery.

All this from 21 bucks a night."
