DanielePralong, yes there are many Koalas in Belair National Park, around September - December they move out of the park and through our neighbourhood. However we do see the odd one in our garden at other times.

So nice to see spottings of koalas in the wild... I saw quite a few in the early 2000s in the Belair National Park, and I hope they're still there!
