Something to raise a smile, despite the horror in Victoria

Someone had the sprinkler on at his Hahndorf, Sth Australian property for the birds on a 43 degree day - don't worry, it's dam water, not mains water.. This young male koala was oblivious to everything else.

Very nice, but I prefer the female of the human species of the blonde variety. How are those in Australia?

I saw a picture on the news yesterday of a Koala drinking out of bikers water bottle. Very clever little critters!

Joe, I've seen that picture too.

The one I saw was two bike riders letting a Koala drink out of a sports bottle.

Those bears are pretty smart. (Atleast they are smarter than the average bear) :lol:

TAdan, sorry about that; I was going to edit (correct) my post, but I found out couldn't.

Nice picture. Heart warming to see people helping out not only people but animals too. 8)
