10 Koalas and a Hike


Koala sign! Watch out there are Koalas in these parts!

Ah, and here a few koala just hanging out in a tree!

And here is another one just hanging out. We ended up seeing a total of 10 koalas! Our record is 11 at one time. We set that back when we first arrived!

Justin by a Yakka bush. He really likes them!

Me by a rock. Justin thought it would make for good scenery.

This weekend we thought we would go hiking on a trail called the Waterfall Gully Hike. We had Bob's car (Justin's boss) for the weekend, so we thought we would head for the hills, Adelaide Hills that is. We found the turn off for the Waterfall Gully hike, but we didn't drive far enough so we ended up doing what is called Chambers Gully hike. It turned out to be quite a bit long (around 5 miles compared to like 2 miles), but it was gorgeous and we saw 10 koalas!! We both still can't get over seeing koalas in the wild. You look up in a tree and there is a cute cuddly koala hanging out. That was our big event this past weekend. This weekend we are driving 5 hours north to go to Flinders Ranges National Park for weekend of hiking and camping. Justin has a before sunrise hike planned for us on Saturday morning! Can't wait! It should be beautiful though! That is about it for now! We miss you all!!

Yeah, I can't imagine looking up and seeing Koalas in the trees...just a bit different from squirrels :)

I want to go see the koalas in the wild! I bet they wouldn't be so cute and cuddly if I tried to snuggle with one eh?
