Koala


 As you drive into Hawks Nest on the NSW coast, you see koalas in the trees.
















These koalas.












On closer inspection, it is the Jean Shaw Koala Reserve and a warning to beware of koalas crossing.



Apparently the koalas can also be found in the trees in town, but my whole stay, I didn't see a single koala, even thought I walked around the reserve and all over town, and into Winda Woppa. Not sure how much is due to just poor luck and how much due to these issues.









While I was disappointed, we were lucky enough to see a mum and baby possum!

(Note no flash was used and I stood a distance and zoomed in not to distress them). 











For those that missed it, here's the link to when i saw a koala mum & bub. 

Linking with #SaturdayCritters

  1. The plush koalas look cute... but it's sad that the real ones are hardly to be found here anymore... Sweet possums - and a super adorable baby koala in the older post!
    Hugs, Traude

  2. Lydia, thanks so much for taking the time to host the link party each week, I really enjoy seeing the adventures of you and so many of your readers, who are seeing far different things from me each day. I'm so sorry you didn't get to see any koalas this trip, but I loved the picture of mom and baby that you linked to from a previous page. so precious! - Patty
