CHARLOTTE
CHARLOTTE
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
Gulliver
Gulliver
Found wet, cold, and alone after the northern rivers flood. I was lucky to be rescued and treated at the Koala hospital. I am a true success story and was released back into the wild in August 2022

I was very young when my sick mum was rescued and admitted to FOK Hospital. Luckily, I was still healthy in her pouch, and I quickly adjusted to the loving care I received by my foster mum in home care. Eight months later, in June 2023 I was big and strong enough to be released back to the wild where I have been sighted since high in the trees.
Wild Koala
WILD KOALA
I am loving life out in the wild! So far I have been able to avoid the common threats to koalas: disease, car hits, dog attacks, natural disasters and other unfortunate injuries and incidents
Dobby

At just seven months of age, a member of the public found me in East Coraki. Friends of the Koala team were able to find my mum and reunite us, so that I can grow up naturally and have the best chance of thriving in the wild.

! 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
IVY

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.

I came to Friends of the Koala after being rescued from the devastating fires in Whiporie, NSW, in 2020. My health improved, and I made a full recovery thanks to the expertise of the veterinary team. I was released back into the wild and have now been spotted with a joey of my own!
MAGNUS
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.
TEMIKA

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.

I came to Friends of the Koala from Cawongla with my mother Meggs when I was still a baby on her back. It wasn’t long before I joined the others in Koala Kindy where I learnt how to interact with other koalas. In September 2022, they successfully released me back into the wild.
