Koala waiting for the cooler evening



We drove on 4WD tracks through Barmah State Forest which is home to the world’s largest red gum forest. We stopped to look at Lake Barmah and saw a beautiful Fairy Wren, which is bright blue and has a long tail.

We found a lovely place to camp by the Murray River, and then noticed that there was a Koala bear snoozing in the tree above the campervan. He woke when we arrived but didn’t seem bothered and went back to sleep. A baby Koala was asleep further up the tree. They stayed there all afternoon dozing in the heat, occasionally looking at us, until the evening when they made their way up the tree to eat the eucalyptus leaves. Later on a kangaroo came down to the river quite close to us.



WILDLIFE: Koalas, Kangaroos, Fairy Wren, Sulpher Crested Cockatoos, Galahs, Green Parrots

Hi Roger and Sheila
I am a member of SYSAC.
Just read your blog and wondered if you realised that YOU CAN actually date your postings so that they display in the order you require. In CREATE or EDIT there is an option on the bottom left hand side of the text entry field called post options. If you click on this it will drop down a menu which will allow you to amend the post entry date and time. Modifying the dates etc will allow you to display your postings in whatever order you require.
