My favourite festive season tale so far features an Adelaide family who returned home to find a koala perched in an artificial Christmas tree in their lounge. It looked perfectly happy amid all the baubles and twinkling lights, but was less than impressed by the taste of the plastic leaves.
The koala presumably crawled into the house while the family was out. It has since been placed in a nearby area full of trees and appears content up a real eucalyptus tree. As most Aussies will tell you, koalas are not bears but marsupials, but are often referred to as bears mainly because they resemble teddy bears. Which brings us to Paul McCartney s little-known song Ode to a Koala Bear .
