The koala that beat the heat
February 4th 2009 04:39
It was hot all over south-eastern Australia last week. It was so hot that even the natives were feeling restless.
Last Friday, this native koala decided he'd had enough. Sitting in eucalypt trees is fine for furry marsupials up to a point - a thermometer point somewhere below the 40-plus centigrade in which his preferred trees were baking. As they say, how much can a koala bear?
So he decided to find some shade.
He found it on the back verandah of a house in Maude, a town in the Hot Zone, north of Adelaide, South Australia.
The residents took one look at the little fella and gave him a big bowl of water to drink.
He drank, and then turned the bowl into a koala swimming pool.
Luxury.
