Roadside wildlife - Koalas

Finally found a colony of these furry little fellas down near Lakes Entrance on the south coast.




Their inactivity is quite astonishing. Of the 30 or so we saw only two actually moved from their comfy tree nook which they had wedged themselves into. One we surprised and he moved up the tree, the other was eating. I presume they also poop and reproduce but didn't witness such feats of strength. They all look somewhat aged - perhaps yoda would be a good reference if we were trying to find the celebrity they most resembled? I would happily take on the role of padawan for that lifestyle!

Unreal. That is fantastic. Lucas would never leave you know. He would refuse to get on a plane and come home.
