The Koalas the Koalas



Uploaded by ladyhedda.
No-one can resist a Koala. Especially not me. They're fuzzy, they're slow, they sleep 20 hours a day and they have tufty ears.
We've been on Phillip Island - Michael for the surf, and me for the animals.
There is a Koala sanctuary on the island where they have built treetop walkways allowing you to get up close to the fuzzy little buggers and watch them while they do not much. A Koalas life is spent sleeping and eating, which sounds pretty fantastic if you ask me!

We also saw the Little Penguins. They spend days sometimes weeks at sea feeding and swimming around, then at sunset they form a 'raft' with some buddies and float in to shore with the waves. Once on the shore they gang together and face off against the seagulls, who are generally nasty. The penguins make a run for it, crossing the beach towards their burrows, ready for a nights sleep!
