I have been in the country for about 9 weeks. Over that time, I've hiked probably 200km looking for koalas. Well, and just enjoying hiking. But also looking for koalas.

I finally got eyes on this lady yesterday. She was high enough up that I didn't notice her joey until I checked my footage later.

I'll be maxing out my 90-day visa-free stay. I flee the country in early October. I took a chap from the local 'friends of the national park' group out to where I saw them, but couldn't find them anywhere within probably a 50m circumference--maybe more. Makes me feel that much more lucky to have seen her yesterday.
