Taxi

A taxi from the city to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary should cost around $24. Taxis can be booked by calling one of the taxi companies:

Black & White - Ph: 131 008
Yellow Cabs - Ph: 131 924

They will ask for your address, where you want to go (just say Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, they know where we are), your name and how many passengers there will be travelling. They need your name to identify you when the taxi arrives, so if there are more than one of you be sure to remember which name you used when you meet the taxi driver.
