I’m going to share with you a very unimpressive photo of the most exciting moment yet in Australia.
Mike and I went for a walk in the bush in Port Macquarie. If you know Mike, you know that he loves to make bets. For example, every time we fly Mike always proposes the bet, “Will the landing be bumpy or smooth?” This time the bet seemed a bit outlandish: “Whoever spots a wild koala first, the other has to do the washing up.”
Um… can I just say… victory!!
I was straining my eyes by searching up in the canopy of eucalypt trees when I finally spotted a little koala bum. It was so cute. The branch was swaying in the wind but the koala just held on tightly and rode the branch from side to side.
Most Australians have never seen a koala in the wild… so this was certainly something special.
I’m pretty sure I didn’t stop smiling the rest of the day… and I certainly did not do the washing up!
xo, jill
OMG, Koala bum! What a thrill that must have been to see a wild koala… especially since it got you out of doing the washing up! What an all around win! 😉
