Day 156 Nature Close-up.

                                You looking at me, cause I"m looking at you.
We had travelled down the coast to Port Fairy, while there we went out to a place called Tower Hill, which is a volcanic crater with supposedly wet lands...and birds. Well there were no birds of any note but on our walk around the wetlands, Stephen spied this beauty. Three feet from us and about the same of the ground, we had enough time to talk and photograph this lovely creature.
We had seen Koala's in the wild while at Ingrid and Eberhards in Adelaide hills...but they were along way off.
She/he was a inquisitive of us as we were of her/him. Having spoken to a few people it is apparently a rare sight to see them so close to the ground. Again, we were so lucky!!
