Redlands IndigiScapes Centre invites the community to join in the celebration of National Save the Koala Day at its Magnificent Mammals Day event on Friday 28 September.

Redland City Mayor, Karen Williams, encourages residents to get involved in the local event, in honour of our cutest Australian icon.

“Magnificent Mammals Day offers a family fun day out that is perfect school holiday entertainment. The event offers an exciting line-up of free activities from 10am – 1pm,” the Mayor said.

“Magnificent Mammals Day is just one way we can engage with the community about the importance of saving our local koalas. At the same time as raising awareness about our koalas we can provide a free fun day out for families to enjoy time together.

“Come and learn all about Redlands’ magnificent mammals and get up close to our favourite furry mammal when you meet a koala from Daisy Hill Koala Centre.

“Other activities include live animal presentations, craft workshops, face painting and a range of educational displays, all set in the beautiful surrounds of the IndigiScapes’ native botanic gardens.

“There will also be a free sausage sizzle and the IndigiScapes Tea Garden Café will be open, serving up its home-baked delicious treats and Australian native teas.”
