Dingo: Fraser Island, QLD
World Heritage listed Fraser Island along the south eastern coast of QLD is home to some of the country purest dingo population, making it a very special place! Due to the remoteness of the island, they have the ability to become to purest stain of dingo in the eastern seaboard. Just like us, they live to travel, swim and spend a lot of time on the beach.

Koala: The Otway Coast, VIC
In our opinion, the koala is Australia’s cutest iconic animal. Our answer to the cuddly bear (although not a bear at all) koalas are loved for their fluffy and cuddly appearance and laconic nature. The Australia koala population has suffered over the years due to bushfires and habitat destruction but they can still be frequently seen in the wild along the eastern and south parts of mainland Australia. You can find an abundance of koalas along the Otway Coast and Great Ocean Road as there is a plethora of manna gums and blue gums.
