KOALAS FACING GRAVE GUMLEAF SHORTAGE IN CLIMATE RAVAGED BUSHLAND

 Stop  moaning  about   the    extreme   lettuce  shortage   due   to   flooding  of  market  gardens .Think of the   poor Koalas  who are  apparently  so  short of   gumleaves   that  they are  now  being  photographed   climbing   palm  trees   in  a   frantic  search   for  tender  roughage, only  to find inedible  fronds  and  nuts.  Caring  wildlife   photographer  Vallis  was about to contact Sir David Attenborough  to raise the plight of   Australia's cuddly  Koalas   when he  discovered that   the ones he  snapped above , high up a  palm tree,  are  bogus marsupials, probably made in China ,  which have been there   for years , requiring  no  chewing  gum .
