Koala Photo


This is a photo of me with my friend Lauren at the Wildlife Currumbin Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia. In addition to getting to hold a koala, I got to feed lorikeets (and get pooped on by them), hold a snake, and also a baby croc. Holding the koala was definitely the highlight of my trip!

Hi Jane,
So glad you could post something from Australia. I have heard the koala's smell bad; did this one?

Love,
Grammy

To Grammy:
YES - he smelled TERRIBLE!!! (the lady who was handling him said that it is only the males who smell - because the smell rubs on the tree to mark their tree during mating season). But I didn't care how bad it smelled - it was so cute (and its not that hard to breathe in and out of your mouth!)

Love,

Jane

Hi Jane ,I heard if you freeze Koala's poop and then bake it at 350 for 30 min. It will taste like freeze ,baked koala poop? Oh yah salt to taste. Just kidding Leah do not try this. We have enjoyed having your Dad around, Julie keeps bringing him food, but he's always on the tread mill when she goes to drop it off.We miss you guy's as much as you miss Dad. Julie and I are looking forward to our next group HUG.Love Kmac
