Did you know?

1. Lone Pine 4069, located in the suburb of Fig Tree Pocket in Queensland, holds significant historical importance as the site of the world’s first and largest koala sanctuary. Established in 1927, it was initially a response to the high number of koalas being killed for their fur, and aimed to create a safe haven for these iconic Australian animals.

2. The sanctuary was named after a single pine tree that stood tall on the property, earning the name “Lone Pine.” Sadly, the tree was destroyed during a storm in 1942, but its legacy lives on in the name of this renowned wildlife sanctuary. Today, Lone Pine stands as a symbol of conservation and education, attracting visitors from all over the world who come to learn about and interact with koalas and other native Australian wildlife.

3. Throughout its early history, Lone Pine 4069 faced various challenges, including the impact of World War II. American servicemen stationed in Brisbane during the war often visited the sanctuary, and the koalas became unofficial mascots for the troops. The sanctuary also played a significant role in rehabilitating injured koalas during this time. Despite these challenges, Lone Pine persevered and continued to grow, becoming not only a sanctuary but also a hub for research and conservation efforts to protect and preserve Australia’s unique wildlife.
