Hi Paul, great episode, I love koalas ❤ they are tired & sleep so much because it takes a lot of energy to break down the toxins & fibre from the eucalyptus leaves & they contain very little nutrition. Keep up the good work, my husband & I really enjoy watching your travels around the countryside. We are leaving Tassie at the end of June & heading to the mainland to start our big adventure travelling in our caravan, can’t wait! Hope we bump into you somewhere around Australia. Cheers, Christine Cottee
Thank you for showing us the koalas and the sanctuary Paul,the ferry ride info was interesting as well.The must do list is getting longer every week.Safe travels 👍
That's a lot of kolas in the wild. Use to to see lots of wild kolas on Philip Island and on the Bass hyw on the way there. I also have heard that the kolas in south eastern Australia are bigger than their Queensland cousins, who also are greyer in colour than the kolas down south. Really great video Paul.
Koalas are always so sleepy because they slow down their metabolism and conserve energy as leaf is low in nutrition and required lot of energy to digest it
Nice video! Koalas are amazing to see & Raymond Island is an absolute gem!! That bird that you saw (didn't get a great view on the video) but it looked like a Tawny Frogmouth. Not an owl but more closely related to the Nightjar family. 😀 ~ Karen
Hi Paul. Where was the island? Koalas sleep because there is very little nutrition in gum leaves and a lot of fibre. They use a lot of energy to digest the leaves and hence they need a lot of sleep.
First place
Tower Hill Warrnambool. Koala's

You lucky man finding all of those Koalas. I hope you continue these series in the other states we dont have over here in the West. Cheers Paul
‘Cos it takes a lot of energy to eat enough gum leaves; they sleep 22 hours a day to “fuel up”
Well I always thought koalas were stoned but then you showed a clip of a koala yawning and I've changed my mind.

Yes it was! Someone else confirmed it 👏
I really liked this video.
Glad you enjoyed it
