Well it’s not really that much of a surprise to see these little  furry creatures in Morialta Conservation Park but there you go!  See if you can spot our furry friends, the koalas, in these pictures. (They get bigger if you click on them

We took the photos in Morialta, a conservation park about 45 mins drive from our home here in Adelaide. It’s a place we’ve walked many times. We’ve e taken some of you with us on occasion.  Unfortunately for the cute koalas, Sunday was a very misty, rainy day so they were very active.  Most of them were curled up in a little ball, like hedgehogs in trees (without the spikes I guess).  After last weekends 43 degree heat I imagine the rain and the low 20 something temperature had them feeling a little chilly.  Poor things!

Just waking up

Look really carefully

apparently Koalas don't appreciate the rain

They're cute though aren't they!
