@Frank – I like the fact that your koala has history though! Neat to see a baby grow up.
I managed to “walk” a tiger snake yesterday myself, by the Goulburn river. That was a real treat…..I’m sure Sue & I could share stories….

Just got back from our “secret place” – I like your koala photo better than ours (taken on an iPhone) We DID see a few and Sue tells me she walked a tiger snake exploring today! – http://ourhikingblog.com.au/2010/01/car-camping-at-our-secret-location-we-take-the-kitchen-sink-and-more.html

@Akila – I didn’t mind Great Ocean Road (or Great Ocean Walk) so much, but I didn’t do much of the walk, and I drove the entire length of Great Ocean Road a while back.

Oh, and we heard a koala mating call too. It was crazy sounding!

We saw a whole bunch of koalas at Tower Hill Reserve right near the Otway area too and posted about it. They are so cute. We weren’t completely impressed with the Great Ocean Road itself but thought the Otways were amazing.

@Andrea – Ah yes, birds….which are my favourite alarm-clock animals, despite their sometimes deafening calls!

Australian wildlife certainly is interesting, and Koalas are definitely one of my favorites, along with Wombats. Its a bit of a shock coming from New Zealand where there isn’t a lot of wildlife, although I was woken up by Paradise Ducks calling to each other when camping once, had no idea what the noise was

Yes, those koala-claws can be deadly! And they’re not afraid to use them either…even though some of the koalas I spotted were within reach, I didn’t attempt it.
