Gum Tree Motel - (koalas & others)

A gum tree (eucalyptus) on our property could be more than 300 years of age. It houses various wildlife and is used as a wild-life motel for passing animals and birds. On Australia day (January 26th) we were lucky to have a koala visit the tree and although my camera hasn't enough zoom and I have no special lens to add I took a couple of photos of him during the afternoon.

A few more photos taken when another koala decided to find a different tree...
