KOALAS INVADE LITTLE DARWIN

 There was uproar  from  a  Curlew  sitting on eggs when a  Koala  carrying  a baby  suddenly burst out  of  the  undergrowth  and  climbed  into  a  nearby  frangipani  tree.


The arrival attracted much attention and the cute critters were  photographed   from  many angles, the   Curlew  couple  hissing  loudly. 


Eventually the  mother , with passenger clinging on ,climbed down , upsetting  the  Curlew  sitting  on   two  eggs , causing it  to  jump up, hiss.  


With the baby slung  on its back, then underneath, then on its back, the Koala   ran cross the road  to  a  vacant allotment  .


There  it  began to climb the  middle  tree  and spent the night on  high .
