A little to the south of here, around Trentham, signs are up on the roadside warning of koalas and wombats. Tragically there is a lot of road-kill.

I saw one which was captured and got out of the bag it was in when it was being taken to a safe place. The car seats were shredded! The koala was eventually subdued and taken to the safe place. The good samaritan and owner of the car was in a state of shock!<br />They sure are hard to spot up in the trees.<br />And holy hell can they make noises in the mating season - fog horns in the bush! ha ha.<br />Well done Diane.<br />Colin (HB)Colin (HB)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-36852337243861383062012-02-19T07:48:14.728+10:002012-02-19T07:48:14.728+10:00Wonderful post, Diane.

Of course, there are no Koalas up here in the tropics, but I've seen them hanging around in the Gum trees near the park in the Brissie suburb where my son and grandchildren live.

A tragic story for some, as their habitat declines. We have now all the time Koalas in the garden; at my neighbour V. or in my daughters garden. She had lately a mum with her joey it was a naughty baby climbing to the furtherst of the branches! Diane, about the flower. It is a Heliconia but not sure which one as there are so many similar ones.Lavender and Vanilla Friends of the Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05403418150146893599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-44263780346278968952012-02-19T04:19:29.170+10:002012-02-19T04:19:29.170+10:00So sweet pictures from the Koalas.
