I got this today from my dear friend Nick Possum who I have never met. He has a mad website (www.brushtail.com.au) of which I am very fond.
He got this email from an unknown person who I have also never met and who is not a dear friend but I am sure is very lovely.
It is an email with photos attached, it is from Greig to Sarah and it says this:

It has been so hot in South Australia for over a week…40+ degrees Celsius everyday, very dry also. A guy at work lives at Maude. His wife sent him these photos of a little Koala which just walked into the back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. She filled up a bucket and this is what happened:
Maybe it’s an internet hoax. Its already viral. Who cares. It’s so CUTE! (and thirsty).
What more do you need?
Remember: In these difficult times, think of the beasts, what might they need? Here is a partial list:
- A bucket of water
- $5 to get the train to Bendigo because their mum is sick
- Pants
- Chocolate biscuits
So do the best you can.

Or the beast you can?
He/she looks so cute that I kinda think it is a put up job. Digital imagery?
It’s not a bad idea to put bowls of water out for the birds.
What if mum lives in Darwin?
No real. I saw it in the medja here in Adelaide, so must be true.
Apparently koalas are not too cuddleable. Very sharp claws.
No about that link love.
@huwr Said on Twitter: That Koala looks pretty tame. I think after that photo was taken, they all went inside, had a beer and watched the cricket.
I thought that was funny and I said:
I think you are right. But I bet the Koala wouldn’t put his gloves in front of the stumps and claim the wicket. #cheatingaussies
The # in front of cheatingaussies is a way of categorising different tweets together. If you are tweeting on a particular subject, it is searchable if you use a #. It is also a small meme (@melbournegirl #idratherbewatchingthesuperbowlthandealingwithidiotsoverthephone)
Is the Koala Channel Seven’s Andrew O’Keefe?
It’s obviously a dwarf in a koala suit.
By the way did you know that pandas have been extinct for 50 years? Look closely at all those cute panda photos. Obviously they are Chinese dwarves in panda suits.
Look at his little tongue! :D
Our dalmatian puppy sits in water to keep cool. Perhaps he is a disintegrated Panda. Or a Chinese dwarf. Bother.
