Koalas

Yes, there are koala bears in Australia, and yes, they are extraordinarily cute. Although they don't seem to do much but dangle photogenically from gum trees.

We had a few nice walks in and around Appollo Bay & Cape Ottoway yesterday, but elected to skip the famed lighthouse for which there is an absurd $19.50 admission charge (each), to see this "historic" sight that has been operating since around 1850. Since we can visit older lighthouses, for free, any time we like in Maine, we figured our funds were better spent on wine.  Besides, who cares for the recent and impermanent works of man when there's wildlife, 300-year-old trees, and an ancient coastline to explore.
