Thanks cherylc1. Yes, this would have to be one of my very favourite photos that I have taken. Their natural habitat near Cape Otway is probably “paradise” for these little guys. To me, it looks happy and content.

A nice find and a great shot ! Hard too, with the subject right up in a tree. He or she still looks a bit worried by your presence though. .

Fantastic shot. I never saw them wild. Those I have in my portfolio is from a “Coala park” outside Brisbane (I think).
