Bruce the koala ...

Has left his tree. He has been gone since Saturday last weekend (not yesterday) and we have checked every day. We are a bit sad, although we knew it would happen sooner or later. In some respects it is good, because it means he is not afraid of whatever was in the bushes before that drove him so close to us. The motorbikes haven't been there for most of the summer. Well the rain resurrected the old creek and there is no bridge. The growth in the bushes itself has been phenomenal, so I guess it might be a bit difficult.

We were disappointed with the responses of the groups that we contacted to find out more about him, and to perhaps do something about the plight of the koalas. So they better not ask me for money any time soon. I will be leaving comments on their websites and blogs.

The other lovely thing about Bruce is to know that there are still koalas about and that there will be others through here. The tree is still a koala food tree and I can see five others close by.



Bye Bruce, thanks for the good time ...
