Yes, and Cape-Otway as well. There where lots of them on the way down
and at Mates-Rest too.

A few more tips...
Look *up*.
They're more active late in the day, or at night. If you search for
them earlier, all you will see is something curled up that looks like
a very large fuzzy grey turd--boring!
There are no wild koalas in WA, NT, or TAS.
Koala "cuddling" laws (whether you can briefly hold a captive koala)
vary between the states. QLD is probably the most liberal (or laxest,
depending on your viewpoint).

More like a grey turd that smells like it was marinated in cough syrup -
with a disposition to match!

In the wild on Magnetic Island ...accessed from Townsville Queensland
....and "Maggie," for practical purposes, is a suburb of Townsville.
It's an easy trip by ferry. The recommended koala-spotting area is
along a moderate uphill hike to "the forts" (leftover from WWII).

Magnetic Island's wildlife also includes a bird, the bush
stone-curlew, which is rare on the mainland and described as
"nocturnal" and "cryptic". On the island, however, one came right over
to my cafe table to beg for chips in broad daylight. (No, I didn't
oblige.)

also the cute bright green frogs !!!
We stayed at Geoffs place (around 7 years ago), and they literally dropped
from the trees.

If you are coming to Canberra then check on the Tidbinbilla
Nature Reserve. There used to be koalas there but they were badly hit
in the January bush fires and I am not sure how much they have yet
recovered.

If you're anywhere near East Gippsland (Bairnsdale - about 3hours from Melb)
go to Paynesville, take the ferry to Raymond Island, and walk/drive around
the bush tracks - it's a small island, easily navigated if you're more or
less fit, but renowned for its koala population. Well worth a visit. Then
have a meal at The Paynesville Pub - also wwav!

I think Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is the best place as they allow you
to really get up close and personal with it. Be warned that if you
dislike the smell of eucalyptus oil...
