"In the wild Koalas can live 12-14 years. But if someone is taking care of them, or if they are in captivity they can live 16-20 years. Each day a koala bear eats 40 oz of eucalyptus leaves. They are very picky eaters. Koalas eat the moist tender tips of the eucalyptus leaves. A meal gives a koala all the food and water it needs."
What a lot of trust wee Sam gave to her helpers. I followed her story from day one. Rest in peace Sam. Your carers must be in a lot of pain when you died.
Sam's final resting place of honour will be in the Melbourne Museum right next to Phar Lap.
"The story of Sam will help us to understand and remember the devastation that the events of February 2009 had on the people of this state and their extraordinary determination to recover and move forward with their lives."
Her spirit will live on in the people to whom she was very important, we won't forget her.
What a tragic loss, thank you to all that helped pull her through she did not die in vain you all are truly angels sent by god to help our animals, she's now playing in heavens trees with all her koala friends that were lost in the fires. You can rest now sweet little sam you're free from pain and suffering
She was to undergo surgery to treat cysts as a result of urogenital chlamydiosis, a life-threatening disease that affects 50 per cent of the Koala population.
Vet John Butler told waiting media outside Morwell Veterinary Clinic "Due to complications with the disease, the best course of action was to put Sam down.
Colleen Wood and her team at Southern Ash Wildlife shelter and all who were involved with Sam are devastated by this loss.
gottaliv ....I hear there is talk of a memorial for Sam.
I think this is a new turning point for the welfare of animals and wildlife. It astounds me at how many people care for there pets these days, this is very good. The expression of sympathy all because of a dear and very appreciative kaola called Sam.
MRMILO57 "....I hear there is talk of a memorial for Sam."
Thanks for that info, good to hear - there's a reason for everything eh, and Sam gave people a reason to hang in there who desperately needed something out of the ordinary to believe in. She did what was needed when it was needed the most and now she's at peace.
As well as being sad that she died we should also be very happy that she lived. I am. :)

It will take many years to recover what we once had but some things will never be recovered, so help will be needed for a long time to come. Anything at all you can contribute will be greatly appreciated.
Thankyou to all others for the positive and kind comments.

Ok - I believe in the concept of "free speech" but some people take it too far. So here's the deal.

People with vendettas, please go elsewhere as you're not welcome here.
ok so Australians are racist?? What fucking country are you from asshole??
heres a hint.
GET A LIFE wankers!
you assholes make me sick. hundreds of people and animals died and youre all bitching about racism. for fucks sakes. grow a fucking heart or piss off, cuz noones interested in your fucking shit. and get ur ass off ur fucking computer and get a life!
i cannot believe i have read that, you obviously havent heard of australian mateship or infact ever been to australia.
at a time like this all australians come together no matter what and help out were they can and give what they can its just a real shame that your people cant do the same.
and Unbiased007 you are very right aussies and americans are brothers in arms :) its amazing to see what you americans are doing to help us is amazing and i thank you all from the bottom of my heart!
Rather than get upset by this comment ...I find it totally laughable..no one except a lunatic will agree with your bizarre thoughts..thanks for the laugh (at you !!)
It's surprising we got this far before the hateful, racist, and homophobic comments started. There's only been 2 half-hearted ones before SylvieKloot's. Does this mean we're improving, or deteriorating???
i just read a lot of the hating comments, some people is really pathetic. I hope no more animals or people die in Australia. That really sucks. Americans and Australians are brothers.
Fire, no matter where it happens is devastating. This story gives hope for us all. For all the people who lost their lives, the wildlife who tried to wonder what was happening and lost their way, God has made a place for you. I heard that this fire was arson..so for the ones who did this..I hope that when you try and sleep, that they come back and HAUNT YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR PATHETIC LIVES!!!!!
For the ones who were saved, be aware that there are still caring people in this world...
Australian are hypocrites. Oh poor Sam, what a good bloke for saving Sam. When the CFA ark up the bush on a prescribed burn they do so knowing that thousands of Koalas, Kangaroos, Lizzards, Possums and other native wildlife are going to perish by the end of it. Another fact is after a prescribed burn the bush grows back more lush as certain species of plants need fire and smoke to germinate. If you want to help, help the wildlife by donating to see they for once are looked after.
Australians generally aren't hypocrites but I understand what you're saying. What's better tho, to loose some animals in a "prescribed burn" or to loose people, thousands of acres of bush, and millions of animals in an uncontrolled burn? I don't like the thought of either. And yes, help by donating to the wildlife shelters, they always need funds, not only in times like this.
Good god, these fires in Australia have by far been the funniest thing I have seen this month in terms of lulz. Burning koala bears, dumbass people rallying on youtube for a lost cause, pretty much all of Australia burning down, the whole thing has just gone over the limit of funny.
I hope you never have to feel real loss or sadness as you are obviously too weak and too much of a coward to deal with anything like that. I feel sorry for you as you are obviouls bored and ingnorant.
You heartless bastard if people like you were never born this world would be a much better place i hope one day you loose everything you have so you could feel a shred of what those people are feeling, grow up.
You also have to keep in mind that you really don't know where this idiot is from and the simple fact that there are jackasses that go around from video to video and try to upset people by saying inflammatory things. Getting upset by it is falling right into their traps, so is fighting with other people and dissing other peoples home countries or customs. This is how they get their jollies. Theyre just assholes plain and simple. Unfortunately, all countries have themsome more than others.

BELLS will ring across Victoria on Sunday 22-02-09 - 11am as the nation stops to remember the victims of the state's deadly bushfires, with the toll now at 209.
A ringing of the Federation Bells at Birrarung Marr at 11am will signal the start of the National Day of Mourning service at Rod Laver Arena. It will broadcast live on TV as well as at live sites across the city.
Premier John Brumby today encouraged churches, town halls and other facilities to ring their bells at the same time.
It defies explanation. There are alot of freaks in the world who get their kicks out of hurting or killing other people and everything else around them. Arson is a huge problem in Australia :( especially in summer when humidity is low and the amount of fuel on the ground is high.
I want to wish everyone in Australia all the best luck. I am a New Yorker and I was there when the terrorist attacks happened. I saw so many things that I could never forget, and I know when a disaster like this happens it is easy to lose all hope for the future, but you have a beautiful nation filled with beautiful people and that alone will be enough to carry you through. I am donating to the AUS Red Cross and I encourage everyone here to if you can. Again, very best of wishes from America!

No, I am using the tragedy to highlight the abuse of Australia's wildlife - animals cannot speak for themselves and I am trying to help them. Our kangaroos are currently experiencing the largest terrestrial slaughter in history.
Wow, when you say it like that, you're right! You're not spamming us, just "repeating" yourself on all the similar videos.
And you're not trying to do so in a way to bring attention to your own beliefs. Why, no! You're speaking on behalf of the animals that you're trying to help.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
No. I'm not afraid of being misunderstood.
If you call someone or something gay it obviously has nothing to do with their sexual orientation, especially if you don't know the person. If you say something chinless, fey, or phony, chances are it's totally gay.
My brother who lives in Australia wrote and told me not to buy Fosters beer. The reason he gave was that those of their workforce who signed up as volunteer firefighters were made redundant on their return to work.
First of all, volunteers can't be made redundant as they don't get paid. Second, there are hundreds of fire fighters still in Victoria who came from the other States in Oz. Third, there are several fires still burning which are still keeping the men very busy. Perhaps some of the fire fighters from the other States may have been sent back if they're no longer required, so may-be that's what your brother heard. But I haven't heard anything about anyone being sent home yet.
Read the question properly, I don't think Meezer means that they were made redundant from fire fighting, the were made redundant from Fosters because Fosters didn't like that they signed up to volunteer and didn't turn up to work. Maybe?
People who work for Fosters volunteered to be temporary volunteer firefighters. This wasn't their usual job.
Because the fire was so huge, a lot of extra help was needed, and Fosters employees went to help. But when the fire was out and they went back to work, Fosters made them redundant.
I have had confirmation that this outrageous story is in fact true.
Sorry, I misunderstood your comment, it's so obvious now. :( Blond or tired or both!
But I wish it had been the way I first read it as now I'm hopping mad! I'm so mad I don't even know what to say to that.
If it IS true, may-be something like, Fosters have dug their own grave because no self respecting Aussie will let them get away with that so I see a big boycott coming up. Need official confirmation first though and if it's true, well there are plenty of other beers to choose from!
OK, found this...Google "Workers sacked while saving lives" for the full story.
*THREE of Victoria's firefighting heroes were sacked by Foster's as they battled to save lives. The three men are among 115 maintenance workers to be laid off by Foster's at its Abbotsford brewery. *
They weren't sacked for not being at work, but this is a case of extreme insensitivity on the behalf of Fosters and very very bad timing. Bet their sales drop fast!!!
I don't know what's going on here but I never removed your comment...I don't even know what you said. I believe in freedom of speech and won't remove a comment unless it's disgusting - IMO.
people keep going on about the people that died....I know its sad but what about these animals, over 1 million of them have died and yet they're not getting any attention. Red cross donation are all going to the human...what about the poor animals that have also lost their home and family member T_T* I wanna help them but I dont know how ....
donate to the victorian RSPCA and animal shelters. many farmers have lost their animals but they still have some but no food to feed them with so Red Cross donations will go towards helping them. there have been animal shelters working across victoria in animal rescue, Sam was given water by the fireman but they had to leave her & attend a house fire, not long later she was picked up by animal rescue, just cos we don't hear about them doesn't mean they aren't out there saving the animals=)
I've heard that all the organisations are working in with each other so they all benefit from the donations and none miss out. Hope that's right as there are just so many who need help. Also, a local vet hired a helicopter and is flying around euthanasing animals who can't be saved and other vets are treating animals before being sent to the shelters. There's lots of good people doing good things in our wonderful country who we'll never hear about. Bless 'em all.
Too right, gottaliv! For every dickheaded Danny Nalliah and subhuman arsonist, there are thousands of decent Aussies pulling together. I'm proud of my compatriots.
Fuck i hate channel 9. What a way to make the whole thing look like a lame quest for ratings. The reporter is a tart. Murdoch is a tart. That koala even looks like a bit of a tart now...
I know how you feel but don't be so angry. Forget the media and take this for what it is, a symbol of hope for people who really need it right now. It was a very special touching moment when people needed to be touched. I'm hoping like crazy nothing happens to Sam and keeping everything crossed for her recovery.
Oooohh, sweet. It's devastating what can happen in a few days. I never thought that it would be so serious and worldwide! Around 200 people died and around a million of the wildlife perished which has thought to have wiped out some species entirley. Yet I can't get over this video, it's so touching that Sam could trust David that way. All my thanks to the firefighters out there, you should feel so pround of what you have done for our country!! Oh and Sam apparently drank 5 bottles not three!!
yes they are only in Aus, they are quite easy to see in the trees if not too high up, and sometimes are not always as far out as the bush. they are usually a friendly animal unless aggrivated, intimidated etc just like any animal. at our zoo's, you can get pics holding them.
David, God bless you and all you did for this helpless and thirsty little guy! I hope God has a special place in Heaven for you and those who are helping defenseless animals in Australia at this time as well as all the people....
If we could all do the same for animals around the world. instead of destroying their habitat, we could save their life like david did. thank you david...
this story is beautiful......

A ringing of the Federation Bells at Birrarung Marr at 11am will signal the start of the National Day of Mourning service at Rod Laver Arena. It will broadcast live on TV as well as at live sites across the city.
Premier John Brumby today encouraged churches, town halls and other facilities to ring their bells at the same time.

It defies explanation. There are alot of freaks in the world who get their kicks out of hurting or killing other people and everything else around them. Arson is a huge problem in Australia :( especially in summer when humidity is low and the amount of fuel on the ground is high.

I want to wish everyone in Australia all the best luck. I am a New Yorker and I was there when the terrorist attacks happened. I saw so many things that I could never forget, and I know when a disaster like this happens it is easy to lose all hope for the future, but you have a beautiful nation filled with beautiful people and that alone will be enough to carry you through. I am donating to the AUS Red Cross and I encourage everyone here to if you can. Again, very best of wishes from America!

No, I am using the tragedy to highlight the abuse of Australia's wildlife - animals cannot speak for themselves and I am trying to help them. Our kangaroos are currently experiencing the largest terrestrial slaughter in history.

Wow, when you say it like that, you're right! You're not spamming us, just "repeating" yourself on all the similar videos.
And you're not trying to do so in a way to bring attention to your own beliefs. Why, no! You're speaking on behalf of the animals that you're trying to help.

No. I'm not afraid of being misunderstood.
If you call someone or something gay it obviously has nothing to do with their sexual orientation, especially if you don't know the person. If you say something chinless, fey, or phony, chances are it's totally gay.

The initial comment I responded to has a -6, so I don't know what your point is.
What you say is no doubt dictated by your fear of what others might think (a clear symptom of the damage wrought by political correctness).
Unless of course you yourself are homosexual which would explain your misplaced touchiness.

Ch4r1ez 3 years ago
Is this true, do you know?
My brother who lives in Australia wrote and told me not to buy Fosters beer. The reason he gave was that those of their workforce who signed up as volunteer firefighters were made redundant on their return to work.
Anyone know anything about this?
Meezermagic 3 years ago
First of all, volunteers can't be made redundant as they don't get paid. Second, there are hundreds of fire fighters still in Victoria who came from the other States in Oz. Third, there are several fires still burning which are still keeping the men very busy. Perhaps some of the fire fighters from the other States may have been sent back if they're no longer required, so may-be that's what your brother heard. But I haven't heard anything about anyone being sent home yet.
gottaliv 3 years ago
Read the question properly, I don't think Meezer means that they were made redundant from fire fighting, the were made redundant from Fosters because Fosters didn't like that they signed up to volunteer and didn't turn up to work. Maybe?
bustysc 3 years ago
Thanks, bustysc, that IS what I meant.
People who work for Fosters volunteered to be temporary volunteer firefighters. This wasn't their usual job.
Because the fire was so huge, a lot of extra help was needed, and Fosters employees went to help. But when the fire was out and they went back to work, Fosters made them redundant.
I have had confirmation that this outrageous story is in fact true.
Meezermagic 3 years ago
Sorry, I misunderstood your comment, it's so obvious now. :( Blond or tired or both!
But I wish it had been the way I first read it as now I'm hopping mad! I'm so mad I don't even know what to say to that.
If it IS true, may-be something like, Fosters have dug their own grave because no self respecting Aussie will let them get away with that so I see a big boycott coming up. Need official confirmation first though and if it's true, well there are plenty of other beers to choose from!
gottaliv 3 years ago
OK, found this...Google "Workers sacked while saving lives" for the full story.
*THREE of Victoria's firefighting heroes were sacked by Foster's as they battled to save lives. The three men are among 115 maintenance workers to be laid off by Foster's at its Abbotsford brewery. *
They weren't sacked for not being at work, but this is a case of extreme insensitivity on the behalf of Fosters and very very bad timing. Bet their sales drop fast!!!

donate to the victorian RSPCA and animal shelters. many farmers have lost their animals but they still have some but no food to feed them with so Red Cross donations will go towards helping them. there have been animal shelters working across victoria in animal rescue, Sam was given water by the fireman but they had to leave her & attend a house fire, not long later she was picked up by animal rescue, just cos we don't hear about them doesn't mean they aren't out there saving the animals=)
lellbelle 3 years ago 2
I've heard that all the organisations are working in with each other so they all benefit from the donations and none miss out. Hope that's right as there are just so many who need help. Also, a local vet hired a helicopter and is flying around euthanasing animals who can't be saved and other vets are treating animals before being sent to the shelters. There's lots of good people doing good things in our wonderful country who we'll never hear about. Bless 'em all.

Oooohh, sweet. It's devastating what can happen in a few days. I never thought that it would be so serious and worldwide! Around 200 people died and around a million of the wildlife perished which has thought to have wiped out some species entirley. Yet I can't get over this video, it's so touching that Sam could trust David that way. All my thanks to the firefighters out there, you should feel so pround of what you have done for our country!! Oh and Sam apparently drank 5 bottles not three!!
