Visits
- 2025-11-18: We headed next over to the Kennett River area looking for Koalas. We walked along a creek into the forest where we did get rained on and attacked by giant leaches, but no Koalas. At the cafe, we were attacked by Parrots and Cockatoos. Finally, we found a sleepy koala in a tree near the cafe.
