On Saturday we could not find the koala, but she is a wild koala and we assumed that she had moved on. At mid afternoon I went to check on our bore water tank and came nose to nose with the koala. She was hugging the base of a tree between the bore water tanks. It is a small but relatively cool space. She did not look very happy she simply blinked at me and we agreed to ignore each other.
I returned soon after with a small vessel filled with drinking water which I left and she seemed to ignore it. Normally koalas' get sufficient water from gum leafs unless they are very stressed. When I checked on Sunday most of the water had gone but it could have been drunk by something else.
Today, Sunday, we spotted her sitting on the shady side of one of her favoured trees and looking a lot happier.
