Koala in Wild at Noosa - 11/8/11 : Many Australians have never seen a koala in the wild. Once I learned which type of eucalyptus tree they like best, I started really looking up whenever I saw that type of tree. On a hike in the Noosa National Park, I saw a cluster of these trees and was determined to spot a koala. To my own amazement, here he was! When you see how well camouflaged they are, it is a wonder that anyone ever spots them in trees in the wild. It was interesting to watch him for a while to see how koalas move around and how they find a fork in trees to nestle into and cling to with their very powerful claws. Our voices obviously disturbed him and finally he looked right down at me, which I interpreted as him asking me to be quiet or leave!

Kangaroos at Shelley's Beach, Coff's Harbour 10/24/11 : This was a magical spot we discovered just north of Coff's Harbour on New South Wales' North Coast - Shelley's Beach Reserve at Moonee Beach. Kangaroos dotted the grassy headland and then we saw an amazing sight of a large kangaroo bounding along the entire length of this deserted beach. He was going in and out of the shallow water and when he reached the end of the beach, he just hopped straight up the steep embankment!
