This is one of my fav koala 
pictures. I get the feeling that the little koala enjoyed being put in a red pail (after all, this doesn't happen every day) and is looking forward to what might happen next.

What is a koala doing on this power line? (He's a little gray bump on the lower intersection of the poles.
He's sleeping. (What else?).
I think that may be him on the ground after the power guys rescued him.

Hard to tell if they're starting to date (in elephant terms, walking trunk in trunk) or starting to dance. That's part of what makes an interesting picture, it's something you stop and think about.
The NY Times is a great newspaper, the best.
OMG, hope this has a happy ending. And then I too want to know how he got himself/herself up there.
Hi @Croisette7
, I haven‘t stopped by the cafe in a long while. Hope all’s well. Carried myB35 blue Izmir for the first time in 3 years or any H bag since this pandemic started. It actually felt good to dress in non-yoga clothes and carry real purse to go out for a change.
That's a reasonable question. These little guys love to climb. It's ingrained among koalas that being on the ground exposes them to predators, car strikes, etc. The higher koalas climb, the safer they are from most dangers. I posted a picture in the Chat thread earlier this year that showed a koala who climbed up to the top of a lighthouse in New South Wales. The caretaker, who had just finished a midnight swim, raced up the steps (elevator?) to grab the little guy thru the window. He was afraid the koala would fall.
Rescue services who help koalas recover from dog attacks or car strikes, etc., make sure the koalas can climb the trees on the facility grounds before they are released to the wild.
My bucket list includes a visit to Australia to see the koalas in person and hold one if that’s allowed. Also on the list is to visit the panda sanctuaries in China and feed them.
I believe you can hold koalas in Queensland at Lone Pine Sanctuary and get your picture taken. Possibly the Australia zoo also offers that. I understand it's a really fast process so the koala doesn't have time to get stressed. I would love to do that. I know someone who held one and she said it was the experience of a lifetime. Their fur looks so soft, it'd be lovely to pet one if that was possible (which I doubt).
I would like to go there too but I don't know what the Covid situation is. I read an article this past weekend in The New York Times was griping about having to quarantine for a couple of weeks in Brisbane in an overnight (size) hotel room. Then he went to Thailand and got a super room with a patio and a decorative pool for the same price.
My concern aside from gazillion Covid variants is the 12 hour flight. If that's the length of time facing you, how do you feel about it?
Australia is currently closed to all foreign tourists. Yes it is a long flight. A good use of frequent flyer miles to book business class seat so you can sleep.
even returning residents must quarantine for 14 days on arrival. They are very strict but have successfully kept the virus to very low levels.
