I’ve posted photographs of koalas before. The difference here though, is that this koala was only about 30m (100ft) from our house. It’s the first one we’ve seen in our 5 years at this location. They might be more common than we know but, with thousands of trees around here, they’re hard to spot.
Using a 510 mm lens (at 35 m equivalent) to take this shot, the koala was about 18m (60ft) above ground, and about 25m (80ft) from where I’m standing.

Now I’m suffering from koala envy. He(?)’s gorgeous. I’ve stood beneath a tree I’d been told contained a koala, and had a hard time spotting them. Great photo, thanks.
