Couldn't figure out where the heavy scratching was coming from until I went into the laundry. I could see his outline through the frosted class door. Caught red-handed trying to break in, cute bugger!
Wasn't put out with human closeness & allowed me to pat him. I ended up guiding him back to the rear of the property where he quickly ensconced himself in one of the gum trees. :D :cool:

Don't you lurv those unexpected visits!
Unfortunately, I don't get koalas but I get tons of roo's hanging around. There's 5 Rosellas that won't live anywhere else but on my front deck and there's oodles of cockies.
Ok, so the cockies are good at a distance... they tend to make a meal out of my window frames :(
Still, it's great to get visits like that and a nice photo too! :)

It is great when nature come knocking.
I see you had the Nikon handy. I have taken numerous shots (photos) of kookaburras that regularly visit but the buggers take off before I can get the really up close snaps.
Cheers

Great photo.
I haven't had any koalas so close. There was one with a baby on it's back on my driveway about 6 weeks ago but I haven't seen it since. I had an echidna at my front gate last night though.

Major,
I have never seen a koala in the wild in the past seven years that I have been living out bush; and you get to see one in the big smoke:confused:
What a brilliant photo!

Great pic Major, great to have visitor like that.
Was with the neighbour in his workshop the other day when 3 scrub turkeys came strutting across the road. Haven't seen them here before, looks like they were young ones that had been given the bum's rush.

Hey Alex,
I've also got a couple of Kookaburra's that sit on the fence just outside the shed opposite the window.
They watch what I'm doing, even leaning in unison to follow where I go in the shed... very funny to watch. It's a subtle hint they would like me to give them something.
There's a cheeky butcher bird that strolls into the shed, through the access door (never the roller door) & screams at me until I get it some mince. He won't come in when there is machines running, so he tends to scare the krappers outta ya if ya don't see him first.
I reckon we are pretty lucky, only 21km from the GPO & we have wallabies, koala's, plenty of snakes & all manner of bird life.

Nice visitor Major :) Wonder if he'll visit again.
We have a resident Currawong [sp?] bird that keeps all the mynas away.
cheers

We have something in one of our pine trees that we hear crunching, come home and theres bits of debris all over the driveway, looked hard but can't see it.
Apart from that we get the odd tiger cruising through but I prefer the shovel for that not the camera.

Really good photo Major, our main visitors are bandicoots, possums and tonnes of birds.
I am just doing the finishing touches the may Range Rover that I've been doing up for sale, just applying wax after a good polish and two baby noisey miners seem to have got it into their tiny minds that the mirrors are other birds and sit there all day pecking and s###ing down the doors!
And the bandicoots are hosts to ticks whilst the possums pee all over the car and get into the rubbish!
Yeh don't you just love those visitors!:D
The only thing worse would be not to have them all.

I think Janet has enough problems without being mauled by one of them.
They look cuddley, but look out if you get on the wrong side of them.
