This would melt the iciest heart…..

It has been so hot in South Australia for over a week…40+ degrees Celsius everyday, very dry also.

These photos were taken in Maude, SA. A little Koala just walked into the back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. They filled up a bucket and this is what happened!

I do some experiments and learning in my garden with palms so you don't have to experience the pain! Look at my old threads to find various observations and tips!

The look on the koala's face is SO CUTE! (I can't help it, all my mothering-instinct buttons got pushed by those photos!) Aw, so cute. :wub: Is it true they spit?

WOW!

Cool!

Hmm.

I've heard that the sea out your way is prime Great White Shark habitat, but not so prime for kangaroos . . . .

THere are a few tourist attractions that let you hold a koala for pictures , for a price ..

Lone Pine Sanctuary close to Brisbane was one ,, might have closed down .

There should be one in the north somewhere .. but they have wicked claws , almost like freddy krueger ,,

how else do they hang on to the trees ??

Tully, wet tropics in Australia, over 4 meters of rain every year.

Great pics. I didn't know 'roos could swim either.

Just looking for a little relief from the heat I guess.

Australia is a strange and beautiful land. I must have lived there in a previous life.
