Mikkira Station Koala Sanctuary的点评
点评：Here’s a short account of my visit to Mikkira Station Koala Sanctuary on 27 January 2026.
I’d been looking forward for ages to finally seeing wild koalas up close, ever since I booked a full-day tour out of Port Lincoln with one of the local operators about six months ago. Unfortunately, the day before the trip — which was meant to finish at the koala sanctuary — I got an email saying the tour had been cancelled due to low numbers. I was offered a later date or a refund, but as I was heading on to Adelaide, the refund was the only real option.
Pretty disappointed about missing out on the koalas, I decided to take a chance and ring the sanctuary directly — and it turned out to be a stroke of luck. The owner, Helen, kindly offered to come and pick me up from my hotel.
Out at the sanctuary, I learned all about how the koalas were introduced there 54 years ago and how they’ve thrived ever since, growing into a healthy population of around 200 animals. After about two hours of walking through the reserve, we counted 38 or 39 lovely koalas, either sitting or snoozing in the low eucalyptus trees.
Along the way, several kangaroo families casually hopped past us, completely unfazed, and we even spotted two emus running in the distance. An unforgettable experience.
A huge thank you to Helen for her pragmatic kindness and for an afternoon I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. I’ve added a few photos and videos — and if anyone is on the fence about whether to make time for a visit or do something else while in Port Lincoln or nearby, don’t hesitate. This is an absolute must.
Koalas are a threatened species and deserve far more attention than they currently get, so awareness and understanding can keep growing.
Thank you again, Helen, for a truly wonderful afternoon.

翻译：以下是我2026年1月27日参观米基拉考拉保护区的简短记述。
自从大约六个月前预订了当地一家旅行社从林肯港出发的一日游后，我就一直盼望着能近距离看到野生考拉。可惜的是，就在出发前一天——行程的最后一站是考拉保护区——我收到一封邮件，说由于人数不足，行程被取消了。旅行社提供了改期或退款的方案，但由于我之后还要前往阿德莱德，退款成了唯一的选择。
因为错过了看考拉的机会，我非常失望，于是决定碰碰运气，直接打电话给保护区——结果真是幸运。保护区的主人海伦热情地提出到我的酒店接我。
在保护区里，我了解到考拉54年前是如何被引入这里的，以及它们此后是如何繁衍生息，如今已发展成拥有约200只的健康种群的。我们在保护区里走了大约两个小时，数了数，看到了38或39只可爱的考拉，它们有的坐在低矮的桉树上，有的在打盹。
一路上，好几群袋鼠悠闲地从我们身边蹦蹦跳跳地经过，完全没有受到惊扰。我们甚至还看到两只鸸鹋在远处奔跑。这是一次难忘的经历。
非常感谢海伦的热情款待，以及她带给我的这段终生难忘的下午时光。我上传了一些照片和视频——如果你还在犹豫是否要抽出时间来参观，或者在林肯港或附近做其他事情，那就别犹豫了，这里绝对值得一去。
考拉是濒危物种，理应得到比现在更多的关注，因此，公众的认识和了解应该不断提高。
再次感谢海伦，度过了一个非常美好的下午。
