In addition they have a disease like chlamydia which affects their eyes and urinary system.<br /><br />Our state, because of the enviable lifestyle, attracts many immigrants for afar and from interstate. A whole town moves here a year!

A friend and I were travelling through the bush up to another town just recently when we came across a koala walking down the middle of the road. We stopped, it ambled off, climbed a tree and sat in a fork, listening to us rattling on. We drove on but looked back and it was peering around the trunk after us! They're so gorgeous.alaine@éclectiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367208674281749257noreply@blogger.com
