I was rescued in January 2018, when I was found alone in the middle of a busy road. I was born with hip dysplasia and have trouble jumping like other koalas, so I am a permanent resident here at Friends of the Koala alongside my BFF Ivy.

In July 2023, rescuers saved my mum Gidja after she suffered a severe head injury. I was still riding on her back when they found her. Her injuries required several months of care, and she stopped producing enough milk for me.

When I was only 8 months old and weighed 730 grams, I fell from a tree and got separated from my mother. Luckily, I was unharmed by the fall, but I had fallen onto the road and mum was high in a tree. The rescuers wanted to reunite us, but the location was difficult, and they couldn’t capture my mother.

I was rescued in September 2022 after a truck hit my mum. I am now full time in Koala Kindy and my best friends are Magnus and Rafa. Even though I am the smallest in care, I am usually found at the top of the ladder. Soon I will head off to a plantation, where I can explore the wild.

My mother was hit by a car in August 2023 and taken to North Coast Emergency Vets. I was in my mum’s pouch at the time of the accident and miraculously was unharmed, unfortunately my mum’s injuries were
severe, and she had to be euthanized.

I was rescued in May 2020 after my mum abandoned me in a cow paddock. I have mild hip dysplasia, which means I cannot jump and struggle to climb. The likelihood of me surviving in the wild is slim, so I call Friends of the Koala home!

I came to Friends of the Koala in November 2021 from Larnook. I was a young joey who suffered from mild dehydration. I was very active at home-care and couldn’t wait to join the crew in Koala Kindy. After loving care and holidaying in the Kindy Plantation, I was released back into the wild.
MAGNUS

I was a pouch young joey that may have been abandoned by my mum when I was rescued in October 2021. When I was big enough for release, it took me longer than most to understand that I needed to find my own food in plantation. I really did love being fed easy fresh leaf in the FOK care centre. After a few failed attempts I am now out living a happy wild life.

After my mother was hit by a car, I was lucky to be protected in the pouch and rescued. I was only five months old at the time and spent over 7 months in FOK Koala Kindy, learning all the skills I would need for the wild. I thrived in care, growing strong and healthy. Thanks to the dedication of my carers, I was fully vaccinated and successfully released in January 2023.
