Phillip Island day trip

Phillip Island day trip
Look closely and you will see there is a tiny koala joey clinging to mum's lower abdomen. We asked the Parks Ranger about it and he said they knew she had a joey, but no one had seen it yet (and that it was also the only koala joey this year) so we were extraordinarily lucky. At the Koala Conservation Centre. Photo from our Belgian HelpXers François & Eugénie.

Some sad news - went there again today and asked a park ranger about the joey. She said it disappeared not long after emerging properly, and the chief suspect is a Powerful Owl (Ninox strenua) which was hanging about. They will snatch them from the backs of the koala mothers! Gaaaaaaaah!
