This Lucky Koala

A couple of weeks ago we were driving home and came across this little poppet sitting in the middle of the road. We stopped, put the rear hazard lights on and helped her move off the road.
Luckily we could stop safely as it is a residential street with not much traffic. Sometimes it is a hairier ordeal to stop for koalas as the rest of the roads around us are very winding and tight.

In summer, here in the Adelaide Hills, it is not uncommon to slow down and usher koalas to safety.
