These three worked their tails off over the last fortnight and would go again today, if I asked them! This was a well-earned swim!

Simone was lucky enough to sight not 1 but 2 koalas walking across the road this morning on her way to work! 🐨 🐨

So many of Australia’s unique wildlife are crepuscular, this means they are most active just after dusk and just before dawn.
Often Koalas will come to ground to move between trees which is when they become most vulnerable to dog attacks and being struck by car.

The Koala Hospital Port Macquarie recently shared a devastating statistic that 26 koalas have died on Port Macquarie roads from being hit by a car so far this year.

August is the beginning of mating season which will see more koalas frequenting the ground in search of a mate.

Slow down and keep your eyes peeled! It’s a pretty terrific sight seeing a koala, let alone an active one outside of its usual sleepy state curled up in a tree!

See our stories for footage of another one Simone spotted on her journey to work.
