Lazy sundays down under:

Australian's have a reputation for being lazy. Some blame the people, but I really think the entire country is lethargic sometimes:

Currumbin wild life sanctuary in queensland. I got annoyed at never having a camera with me when I see these creatures pull this don't care attitude in the wild. We went to currumbin late in the afternoon just to get photos of these guys while they relax, rather than the usual tourist attractions like the feeding time and the get a photo with the koala time.

Koala Bear

Garbz · Oct 29, 2007

Actually it's not a bear at all but a marsupial like possums. It's well known for spending 75% of it's life asleep in a fork of a tree. And they have the softest fur imaginable :hug::

Not only do the koalas have the softest fur imaginable, but they also smell like a bag of eucalypt candy ... they really do. I was quite surprised when I - tourist who I was at the time, of course - was allowed to hold Koala Amy in Cleland Wildlife Park just out of Adelaide and she had this cough drop smell on her

Yes, the Lazy Koala photo takes the cake here

Hey Garbz, I love the koala shot too! Where are you in bris vegas? I'm from Ormeau, the very northern end of the gold coast, we could be 'neighbours' lol jodie

Garbz · Oct 30, 2007

That's right near Beenleigh isn't it? I'm on the northside of Brisbane, so if the Simpsons episode is to be believed then yes for a good 45min drive we are neighbours
