==Biography==
Burnet was born in Sydney, the first of three children of Kathleen (née Bradley) and Charles Alfred Burnet.〔(BDMs — NSW ) Retrieved 14 May 2013〕 He attended Newington College, commencing in 1916,〔Newington College Register of Past Students 1863-1998 (Syd, 1999) pp25〕 under the headmastership of the Rev Dr Charles Prescott. In the early 1920s, Burnet was living in Brisbane when he first came into contact with koalas. He was a resident of a boarding-house when he was given his first pair of koalas and he placed them on a tree in the garden. Fortunately, the tree was of the right species upon which the koalas thrived. After moving back to Sydney he established Koala Park later in the decade and in 1929 he married Emily Lucas.〔(BDMs — NSW ) Retrieved 14 May 2013〕 In 1930 he opened the Koala Park Sanctuary to the public. Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester visited the park in 1934 and was "intensely interested in the bears". His photograph, with Burnet and a koala, appeared in the (8 December edition ) of the Sydney Morning Herald. On his death he was survived by his wife, three sons and a daughter, who carried on the management of the Koala Park Sanctuary.
