Too pricy for what you get and strange combination - Didn't understand why they combined a railway tour with a visit to a sanctuary. The ride was ok, but the views did not justify the length of the ride. From there to the sanctuary was one hour drive and then only one hour in the sanctuary. That was way too short, especially if you (pre)booked an encounter with a koala. For all that it was too pricy. But our guide Travis was great. So much interesting information we got from him while he was driving us. He's just a really cool, relaxed guy and made this trip, together with the koala encounter, memorable.
