Awake And Hungry

Wow! The usual pose of a koala is curled up asleep - but today I was lucky to get this beautiful young koala at a time when it was awake, active and eating!

 

I used to be able to go to Pound Bend, Warrandyte and see koalas in the wild, but due to the savage drought, I have not seen a koala for some time.

 

Here, I am at Healesville Sanctuary - fortunately and blessed to have escaped the clutches of the Victorian bushfires that so ravaged the state.

The fires came extremely close to the Sanctuary, but fortunately did not reach it.
