You know you live in Australia when....

There's a KOALA in your back yard!





Mum was just watching tv when she head a rustling noise and kinda freaked out cos she had the screen door open and she thought it might be some kind of stalker. so she looked out and kinda thought, that's a weird looking dog, did a double take when she realised it was a koala!! and then she called me, i grabbed the camera and we stalked our cute little visitor around the backyard for about 5 minutes. he had a good wander around i can tell you! then he hopped over the fence for a traipse into their garden.
i wonder if it's the same koala that i almost ran over a couple of weeks ago, that scuttled out in front of my car when i was driving home ata bout 11 near the graveyard? I had to screech to a halt, didn't have a camera on me to take a piccie. bugger! and then my car decided to stall, nice work camry, and so i had to call dad to jump start it backwards down a hill, only about 1km from home!!
I have an absolute mother of a headache right now.... just waiting for the paracetamol to kick in...
bloody hell some days i just love being a woman.
