I don't think people are allowed to hold the koalas up at Yanchep. I hope these at Cohunu don't suffer as a result of their contact with humans.<br />Do let me know if you make it Byford won't you.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-28965254998023304052015-06-02T18:35:13.069+08:002015-06-02T18:35:13.069+08:00I remember our visit to the old Cohunu and I imagi...I remember our visit to the old Cohunu and I imagine the new one would be much more modern in its handling of our wildlife.<br />Now I am determined to pay a visit and check it out for myself.<br />Aren't fridge magnets a wonderful in retaining memories? xxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-6287775161346323322015-06-02T18:33:38.479+08:002015-06-02T18:33:38.479+08:00Koalas are lovely creatures and I imagine once you...Koalas are lovely creatures and I imagine once you have held one you would always remember.

However, I'm with Yam in that the Park owners need to update their knowledge of Koalas. Research shows that Koalas get very stressed when handled by humans. Also it upsets their fragile metabolism. I know that wildlife parks have to raise money to keep going but why do the animals have to suffer for the delight of mere people in the process? I wish they would find a better way and educate the public at the same time.<br /><br />OK, I'll get down off my high horse now and stop spitting chips. Thank you for the review of the park, Mimsie.Tezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968504091315232161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-85690826233235357872015-06-02T08:41:32.429+08:002015-06-02T08:41:32.429+08:00Hari OM

Had a lot of mixed feelings; loved being in among all the deer and roos and such... but there was a slight sadness at this too. Wonder if the new place is a bit more in line with modern thinking on the keeping of captive animals? I've still got the fridge magnet &*> YAM xxYamini MacLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18383916589808462620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-54185972270280971822015-06-02T07:23:35.375+08:002015-06-02T07:23:35.375+08:00Love koalas.
