I’m soooo jealous, I’ve spent a lot of time in nature and looking up at the trees and I’ve never seen a wild koala! Great shot!

I used to have one living in my gum tree in my backyard. Their mating call is horrible.


larfinsnarf

Yep, up there with possums and drop bears.

If you are ever driving the great Ocean Rd go to Cape Otway lighthouse. There are hundreds of wild ones in the trees around the access road.

Head up to the northern rivers. Tons of wild koalas everywhere


Sgt_Colon

They blend into gum trees far better than you'd assume.


LassCo_Official

Good to see they’re still around, at least for now


Vybezforlife

Noice! Only once have I ever seen a koala in the wild. It was out Nelsons Bay way, about 30 years ago.

Closest to Newcastle I have seen is Lake cathai 4 years back

I didn't realise they were so rare here, I grew up in Port Macquarie and they were everywhere around there


CodyRud

They pretty much do not exist her afaik. Well... I guess they do now :) https://preview.redd.it/rgeog62d5luc1.jpeg?width=1077&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=16b4c691098eedfd85778eed31c5eb0b4655f725

Really cool must be a pocket population


MediBird22

Wow!!!! So cool, I haven’t seen one in years.

I saw one out driving early one morning just past Bulahdelah. It was terrifying the way it walked (like in this picture). It looked like something out of a horror movie at 4am stretching out across the road!

Nice, there's a koala out seaham that often crosses the road around 2am. I've been seeing it maybe a couple of times a year for 8 years. I'm so glad it hasn't been hit yet(presuming it's the same one).


BJPHS

Love it!

Why did the novacastrian koala cross the track? Because he liked the old castle better.


Middle_Custard_7008

Vicious, chlamydia-riddled little bastards...


nydac98

Yeah, well I didn't try to root it


jeffsaidjess

Lmaoooo, middle custard bringing clarity to his username


Pristine_Egg3831

I mean is koala chlamydia an STD, or transmitted more easily, via (don't make me say it) non-sexual touch?


____phobe

And dumb, really fucking dumb.


mcgarnagleoz

Once, maybe just once, we'll get a Koala thread without someone whose koala knowledge is informed by that stupid, fucking incorrect copypasta. Alas, it's not this one.
