To guarantee seeing at least one koala we visited a hospital in Port MacQuarie. They treat about 250 koalas a year here and the main problems koalas have are conjunctivitis, curvature of the spine and "wet bottom" ! ( a nasty infection). A couple more facts the volunteer on the tour told us- koala babies are called joeys too and of the over 700 species of eucalyptus trees in Oz koalas only eat from 60. Apparently the best way to find a koala is to look for their poo on the ground, so it looks like more walks for us!
They were very cute!
We've been there too. Saw a wombat too. Yes you are right...very cute. Should have called in the Richos.
