Yes for sure! It is a beautiful place!

I think they are going to taxidermist it and put it in the Melbourne museum next to Pharlap (Ausralia's greatest race horse in 1930)

and I will promise to type correctly. So do I, but a bush fire here and there, is GOOD for the ecosystem. But black saturday was to big, and stuffed it up.

Thanks for having a good sense of humor! And I must say I do feel educated: I promise to try to remember to 'Australia' and 'Aussie' correctly from now on! Still, I do feel sad for Sam and all the creatures, human and animal, affected by the fires...

[mackiemachine3]

those were all typos. but ok then. "it" "emphasis" and "you're".

[havelytaylor]

We'll say it correctly if you start writing correctly. ;) '"your" should be "you're" and "enphisis" should be "emphasis" and "is" should be "it"...

[Samjapa]

I'm sad.

Rest in peace Sam.

We love you.

This Koala has passed away recently. It had a Koala disease which effects 1/2 of the koala population. Sam the Koala was 4 years old.
