I’m a volunteer at the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital so I get to see koalas a lot. Unfortunately many of the koalas don’t leave the hospital care. Some are released but injuries are so bad or diseases had already taken it’s toll leaving.

That is special to work there! I have often wondered why Australia, it seems, doesn’t have many more Koala Sanctuaries. They are much loved and unique to us in Australia.

There is to much bush-land destroyed its shameful. They leave less than 12 meters for corridors and put a road through the middle of it. Sometimes major crossroads. Unfortunately, koalas can’t read. They just want get where they are going.
