We were driving North of Marlborough with Her Ladyship at the wheel and me snoozing when Georgie sang out “Koala!” She dropped a U-ey and went back to where a bloke had his camera pointing up a tree. We leapt out armed with photographic equipment and lo and behold there was one of those grumpy little fellas slowly edging his way up a gum tree. It was first wild koala I’d seen since I was a nipper and the first Georgie had seen in Qld. Quite a treat indeed!
