Koala 2 (269kB)

Koalas are really hard to spot in the wild. They use to sit in high trees and hardly move. Often it's easier to find them with your ears than using your eyes... At Magnetic Island there is good access to the Koalas and you can get very close! |
| The Slender Billed Corella seems to be a very busy bird. At Halls Gap (Grampians) thousands of this parrots keep the sound level up in the evening hours. | |
