Thanks again to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary for arranging such an awesome day of awesomeness! If you hadn’t guessed, I found the experience pretty awesome.
This is for all those koala fans out there who want to see what the experience is like in action… And please don’t judge me because of my incessant and incoherent rambling. My mind turned to goo from all the cuteness. If you would, however, like to judge my choice of outfit or hairstyle, I have no qualms with that. =)
Happy Adventuring!

Aww, words cannot explain the cuteness that just happened! Love it.
Thanks so much, Hailey! The cuteness was pretty overwhelming, not going to lie. Video of kangaroo encounter to come shortly!!
That looks like an amazing experience!!! I always loved koalas. Keep on having fun!
Thank you so much! It was. You definitely need to add koala cuddling to your to-do list!
What kinds of adventures do you like to have?
Happy adventuring!
I will have to add it to my list! I like adventurous things. I have been skydiving, zip lining, river tubing and tried surfing. Things like that!
Whoa! Awesome adventures! Have you had a favorite?
I loved them all, but I enjoyed zipling and river tubing in Costa Rica! Such an amazing trip! I want to go bungee jumping too, but more scared haha.
Wow! That sounds amazing!
And I want to bungee jump too, but I’m also terrified to do so! One day… =)
Yeah I am scared to bungee jump too, but I feel like I should do it!
Maybe we can do it together! =)
That would be awesome!!! Def. would be a blog post! 🙂
Heck yes!! =)
Awesome 🙂 🙂
That looks amazing! Okay, koala cuddling is now on my list. Thanks for sharing such a wondeful experience with us. – Rene
You’re very welcome, Rene!
What other things are on your list?
Thanks so much for commenting!
😀
I KNOW!! Haha.
I have always wanted to do that!! Lucky you!! Great video to preserve that moment!! 🙂
Thank you! I absolutely encourage you to do a koala cuddling. Well, cuddling of any kind, really. Because who doesn’t need more hugs in their life?
Thanks for watching!
You look so happy… Lucky it wasn’t a drop bear 😛
Haha, I WAS very happy. A truly pure joy moment… I was too happy to even be sarcastic. That should tell you something.
Okay, so I keep hearing about koala bears and cough drops but have NO idea what anyone is talking about. (Yeah, I know, I’m semi-lame.) Can you explain it to me, my dear friend?
A drop bear is an Australian myth. A carnivorous koala to scare tourists into putting vegemite behind their ears.
Ah. I see. Well, luckily I did not fall prey to such nonsense. (Probably helped that I didn’t know about it!) 😉
Looks like you enjoyed yourself. Personally I’ve been in Australia for one week and a half, and I’m staying at White Cliffs, in a family who has this tiny cute baby Kangouroo named Jojo !! If i manage to get some shots of her, I’ll put it up on the blog. Right now I’m waiting for some work on the local farms. I’m just sad that there aren’t any Koalas in the region !! Those animals are magnificent. I hope your travels are filled with encounters with all the other critters of Australia ( especially kangouroos and koalas, maybe not too many of the local snakes or spiders 😉 )
Do leave a message on my blog about what places are good to visit, as I am staying in White Cliff for some months only, and have a total of 9 months in Australia.
Good travels and hope you meet some koalas !!
Yes, I did, thanks! It was a very enjoyable day!
How are you enjoying White Cliffs? What do you think of Oz so far? Isn’t it crazy how people just have kangaroo pets? Totally living in the wrong country, me thinks…
Nine months in Australia! Wowee that’s amazing! You’re going to have SO much fun! Yeah, I’ve only managed to explore three of the cities, but let me know where you’re headed and I’ll help how I can!
Happy adventuring!
White Cliff was great,and so is Oz !! Apparently my adventure is extremely fast-paced, since I’ve already moved out to a Station out in the outback ( it has some weird name I can neither pronounce nor remember ) and begun learning to drive a motorbike and taking care of the numerous animals out here, not to talk of the 6 pet goats, 2 pet lambs, the Kangaroo baby (this one is a bit older, but it’s still wearing diapers, lige the baby goats and lambs when they’re in the house, I’m beginning to suspect an australian tradition here!!).
So now I’m basically chilling out a bit between jobs ( and trying to get the splinters out of my hands…and they only mentioned termites were attracted to this wood because it was poisonous AFTER we’d felled seven of them and had our hands filled with splinters, at least it looks like there’s no infections yet, so I’ll probably survive!! ).
Later I’m planning on setting off toward some koala-inhabited
part of the land, it’s a No-Go to not have seen a koala before I leave Australia!!
If you have any advice, I’ll be very gratefull, even though my travelling will have to wait till I’ve earned some money ( and found someone willing to get me into a more populated place too, I don’t think hitchhiking will work that well in the middle of the Outback !)
Greetings, Peter.
part of the land, it’s no go
Hey Peter!
WOW, it sounds like you’ve had some amazzzzinnng experiences thus far, even though the termite infested wood one sounds kind of scary! But that’s all part of the adventure! I can’t wait to hear more about your travels.
Yeah, let me know when you plan on reaching a more populated city! I didn’t make it out to the Outback, but it sounds fascinating!! Enjoy!
