Hello Koalas Sculpture Gallery & Gift Shop

Friendly staff at the store who explained the hello koalas and how we can find them in and around Port Macquarie. Beautiful koalas on display at the store and we admired the work of various artists. Could not resist buying a few koala fridge magnets.

A must visit for all locals, the source of all our Koala statues.Recommended as a first stop for all tourists especially if you have kids.

What a wonderful idea the koalas are, so much fun finding them and the shop was packed with heaps of unique gifts. A definite must see when in Port.

Of all of my experiences from my 2-week trip, the Hello Koalas Sculpture Trail was by far the most exciting and touching. Not only is this initiative a brilliant educational tool, but it's also the most exciting way to explore the beautiful city of Port Macquarie, learn more about the city's history, encourage koala conservation, and enjoy some pop culture references as well as appreciate the impeccable art and designs. I moreover loved learning about each artist's back story and motivation for choosing their specific theme. The cherry on top was heading to the Hello Koalas visitor shop and purchasing some postcards, fridge magnets and memorabilia. They even have a Port Macquarie-themed Monopoly board with a koala as a playing piece! A true experience. Highly recommended!

Perfect not only for kids, but for any art lovers. The details and thoughts that have gone into each one of these Koalas are incredible. You'll bound to fall in love with one (or more) of these Hello Koalas Sculptures. Must see. They are around everywhere. Grab a map for the correct locations :)

The Hello Koala Sculpture Trail touches the Port Macquarie region beautifully.My children and I still find ourselves exploring a new activity or restaurant based on the trail guide so we can visit another koala statue and cross it off our list.My children absolutely love finding koalas that share their names and marvelling at their artistic beauty.They also adore stopping by the koala gift shop for a chat with Margaret and to purchase one of the many games or gifts found in store.It’s a must see for any visitors and locals who wish to venture out from the standard activities.The koala trail program has become an iconic feature of our area, it helps to create tourism, bring our community together and puts the surrounds of Port Macquarie on the map!Well done to Margaret and her team for setting up such a wonderful project.

Our kids love to track down their favourite koala sculpture design and it’s amazing to see where the trail leads us - it's a really great way to see the region. The gift shop is packed with really unique souvenirs and gift ideas. We picked up a Port Macquarie Monopoly game and sent it back to family in Canada as they’re huge Monopoly fans. Now they can think of Port Macquarie every time they play.

It was fantastic fun to search the local area for a photo with each of the koalas, hand painted by local artists . We stopped at the store for some gifts, a map and some photos to start us and away we went for a day of treasure hunting . We were even lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a real koala. Port Macquarie is a beautiful holiday destination and the Koala trail is a fantastic initiative and fun for kids and adults . Highly recommend a look at the high quality gift shop .

I went here to see the painted koalas, which were situated in and outside of the shop, which is part of the Hello Koalas sculpture tour. The sculpture tour takes you all around Port Macquarie. The gift shop was filled with lots of koala merchandise.
