I just HAD to show you the pics of 'my little mate.' He (I think) is an adolescent koala who wandered into my studio a few months back. Well, he is back again in the massive flooded gum in our front paddock.
It doesn't matter how much wildlife you see on the TV or in print, it becomes so special when it lives with you.
I know they are quite vicious, and they make the most god-awful sounds at night (like the zombies are coming to get you), but ye gods, they are cute! I watched my little mate for an hour. The most interesting thing he did was scratch his belly....but THAT was riveting!
Aw - must be great to see him up close!

So jealous! All I've seen this weekend is a fox asleep on the neighbour's shed roof. My husband is seeing chipmunks in India and you have a zombie koala!
