rain glorious rain

Every leaf tastes good when wet apparently.
Here is some video of the 8 koalas on the property yesterday, we all raced out and got active as soon as the 8 hour straight deluge stopped!
You can see here how well koala fur protects them - that fur is very wet, however it hasn't penetrated through to the skin at all even though we had more than 12 inches of rain in only 8 hours.

Nice shot, and good that long awaited rain has arrived. A months worth in one night in some places, so we hear.

[Debra Farrington]

12 inches of rain - woo hoo!

[Rob Z]

That's got to make you laugh!! So shaggy - so wonderful to see!

[Rob Z]

I just read the 12 inch part - that's marvellous!!

[Margaret Snell]

Great shot, a wet koala at last, glad the rain is continuing, 12 inches is a lot of water, hope it has soaked into the earth

[Elyse Klemchuk]

12 inches is a lot of rain and I hope you won’t get flooded. But oh, three cheers for rain! (How long does it take for all the fluffy fur to dry?)

[sarah]

Wow 12”! Definitely doing Happy dance

[Pyrrhula]

@kchuk if it had stopped raining then (we have had light rain on and off overnight) she would have been dry within a couple of hours :) if there is a breeze they dry super fast!

[Lou Ann]

I’m sure the rain felt so good to her. So glad it finally rained! I hope it keeps it up for days!
