TAKE A REST BREAK AT THE GIANT KOALA
Dadswells Bridge
Is a locality in Victoria, Australia, known for its quaint charm and unique attractions. Situated as a roadside stop along the Western Highway between the bustling towns of Stawell and Horsham. One of the notable landmarks in this area is the Giant Koala, a beloved roadside attraction that never fails to capture the attention of passersby. Visitors can also find a cozy motel and restaurant, providing a convenient stop for those in need of refreshment or a place to rest.
The bushfire of February 2024 left the Giant Koala untouched.
The Giant Koala
Standing at fourteen metres high and built in 1989. The Koala has a small shop inside. There are souvenirs and snacks. The inside may disappoint with it's stark interior. At the rear and outside there is an animal enclosure. Chooks etc. It's understood there are no real koalas (2024) on site. Toy koalas may be brought at the inside shop. The Koala is a good rest break area next to the Western Highway. Although the Grampians range can be seen from Dadswells Bridge there is no road access nor is Dadswells Bridge in the National Park. Driving from the Melbourne side, the city of Horsham is about forty km further along the highway. The Western Highway eventually ending in South Australia and the Dukes Highway continuing onto Adelaide.
