So it was Australia Day this week, and I changed my profile pic on facebook to this picture (as I’ve done for the last 2 years on Australia Day).
My Mum’s response?
“please do not bring a koala that size home. No room.“
My retort?
“I’ll just have to get a house in Australia for it then. 
“
My Mum has a fear of me moving ‘too far away’ (note to blog readers, when I chose to go to university 2.5 hours away you might have thought I was moving to the ends of the earth). So she backtracked..
“No need we can put him in the hut and let him eat the hedge instead.“
I’m wondering if the builders can put in some eucalyptus in our garden. To replace the hedge. And then at some point I’m going to have to get a giant stuffed koala from Sydney to Edinburgh.

LOL at the giant koala! He is so cute! I hope you brought him home.
Sadly not without stealing him from Taronga Zoo. The story behind the giant stuffed koala is here: http://learningfromsophie.com/2011/01/25/travelling-tuesday-the-giant-stuffed-koala/
Ahh yes, after I posted that comment I did notice he seems to be attached to some kind of donation box.
When i go to Aussie this year I will make it my mission to bring one back
You might have to buy an extra seat for him on the plane home!
LOL Rebecca I can just imagine you walking through the airport with that enormous stuffed koala on a luggage cart, and trying to put a seatbelt on it on the plane. HAAA!
When ARE you coming back to visit the koala? We’ve got a room here for you. : )
He looks soo comfy! Too bad your couldn’t take him home.
@Prue – I don’t know, but you know how much I love Sydney!
@Ally – He was. I bet Jackson would love the giant koala too!!
