Koala Update

*

The Koala Count
Continued...

 The good news is

that I have seen three sightings

of koalas 

over the last few days

Look way up here

in the top of this gum tree

But the not so good news

is that I can't distinguish between them

so am unable to ascertain

whether we have three new koalas

to add to our tally

or of it is the same koala

I have seen three times

As I see him in the same vicinity

between Boiling Pot and Tea Tree Bay

I am inclined to think the latter

But he is a sleepy sweetie

and was referred to as Pinky,
by one of the park wardens 

that I bumped into 

under a eucalyptus tree,

because of his fluffy
pinky-brown derriere

so we shall call him that

shhhhh

we are disturbing him...

And that takes our tally to five

which is half the estimated total count

of koalas in the National Park

But I am hopeful...
