Out in the Wild – MELT Festival at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Step into the Wild Side of MELT Festival, Brisbane’s annual celebration of queer art and culture - https://www.melt.org.au/

For one evening only, the sanctuary opens after dark for Out in the Wild, a fresh twist on the classic wildlife tour. Join our expert education team and their unapologetically untrained “assistant”, a drag queen armed with quick wit, unscripted commentary, and no filter. Together, they’ll lead you through an immersive after-hours journey where wildlife facts collide with spontaneous humour, making each tour a one-of-a-kind experience.

Before or after your tour, enjoy the atmosphere at our riverside café overlooking the Brisbane River, with:

• Food included
• Drinks available for purchase
• A lively host keeping the crowd entertained with drag bingo, trivia and banter
  
  Want to make it extra special? Arrive in style by cruise from South Bank with Koala & River Cruises.
  
  Whether you come for the koalas, the comedy, or simply a night out with a difference, Out in the Wild delivers wildlife, performance, and community in equal measure.
