So, to call them "koala bears" is like saying "dog lions". Koala's are in fact marsupials which means they carry their young in their pouches. Just call them cute koalas!
When we arrived, the tour guide provided us with binoculars and the idea was to look among the gum trees to spot koalas. And amazingly we spotted at least 15 koala! I found a Mom and a baby koala in the tree (I Flip Video'd it but upon review they were too far away) - the baby was holding onto its Mother's back and it was totally adorable!
Here is one Flip of a koala whose ear was tagged (to keep track of them) and according to the tour guide is a female. Since koala are nocturnal, they sleep during the day and this is what probably made them a bit easier to spot as they didn't move much at all = plus the hint from the tour guide was to first check out the branches closest to the trunk of the tree and to look both low and high.
