I’ve seen a few of these around, but haven’t stopped to snap a photo until today. This fellow was found in the Gold Coast hinterland – up Mount Tamborine to be exact, right out the front of Fudge Heaven – so many tasty treats in that shop! We were up here for breakfast, and like the Money Tree Restaurant at the top of the hill. They do a nice breakfast, and providing it’s not during the school holiday period, it’s usually nice and quiet.

Once breakfast was done we walked the Gallery Walk as one does, and stopped at the Fudge Shop and snapped a pic of the Animal with Attitude. The Koala fits in with the beautiful gardens close by and doesn’t look out of place.

On doing some research into this particular koala, it looks like he started out at Funk Fitness, on the Isle of Capri – designed by Dion Parker. His name is “I Don’t Care if My Bum Looks Big in This’. He was returned to the bush over 4 years ago to his current location at the fudge shop.

Looks like there were two Koala’s located in NSW too – one at Casino, the other at Evans Head. I’m now curious to see if these two are still down here.
