This is me cuddling a Koala at Dreamworld when I was around 20.
Isn't he a darling? Yep, he sure was!
Then, he curled his head under my chin, dug his talons in and fell asleep on me - thinking I was a tree! I nearly dropped him!
Now... yes, he poked holes in my t-shirt, and drew blood and I screamed in pain. The staff swooped in, helped me and were very professional about how this happened. I mean, they took this guy off me and put him onto a real tree and he didn't seem to notice that his 'tree' changed from a Human one to a real one - and besides, it wasn't his fault that he was tired.
But no way was I going to take the theme park to court because something untoward happened to me there. This was over 20 years ago, why would I take a theme park to court because I had an unfortunate accident there?
If I could still afford to go there, I would. And yes, I would cuddle another Koala - whether they were tired or not - because they're just the sweetest things; even if they pee on you sometimes.
Writer, poet, artist and prolific reader.... that's me.
I'm a collector of books, vinyls, coin purses and strange handbags... that's me too.
Otherwise, I love...
@bkbinthecity Aaaw thank you. He was a lovely little guy... and Dreamworld was the theme park to go to.
However, times have changed, and since a park ride has killed some people there in the past 2 years, people have taken it all the wrong directions. I could have done the same thing, but really, it's just how things go.
