Meet the locals: They wander through our backyards and streets. Climb fences and, guess what, sunbath at the beach! However, keep your distance from these cute animals as they have sharp claws and get defensive if they feel threatened. Keep your dog on the leash and away from them. If you find an injured koala or a joey on its own, please call Wildlife Victoria (03) 8400 7300 or inform the Information Centre 1300 689 297; We will contact local wildlife rescue. Thank you.
