"The Best Place to See Wild Koalas Up Close!"
Mikkira is a private property- only open to the public to visit or camp overnight in the cooler winter months when the grass is green - May until October.
25 kms South of Port Lincoln on partly unsealed road - permit entry must be pre arranged before arrival to the padlocked entrance gate
Pre booked guided tours (by owner) are available on request any time of the year - please contact the owner direct to arrange this - subject to availability.
A former sheep station, there are ruins of the drystone wall sheepyards and original buildings from the 1880s- as well as the prolific wildlife to discover and enjoy.
Some of the ancient manna gum trees near the station ruins are 100s of years old but the surviving ones are home to the 50 or more wild koalas that live permanently on the property.
