It's Koala mating season


Sitting on our balcony at "Treetops" yesterday we heard a huge commotion of grunts and snorts and screams that can only mean one thing. Koala mating season. Sure enough a few trees away a courtship ritual was taking place with a male chasing a female up the tree and then getting up close and personal.
Meanwhile down in our village of Wye River two koalas were crossing the road at a leisurely pace. A reminder again how during the mating season these animals are vulnerable to car accidents more than ever. So a friendly reminder to motorists coming down to the Otway coast, Great Ocean Road please drive carefully! Romantic koalas don't care about road rules:-)
