Cuddles with Mum Like all marsupial babies, baby koalas are called joeys. A koala joey is the size of a jellybean! It has no hair, no ears, and is blind. Joeys crawl into their mother's pouch immediately after birth, and stay there for about six months. That's about how long it takes for them to see, grow ears and hair, and walk (or waddle) on their own. When they're about six months old, joeys venture out into the world, although they stay pretty close to their mother—usually by riding on her back. www.nationalgeographic.org/media/koala-and-joey/
The fiery twilight colours over Cleveland Point was due to terrible bush fires this past week. My heart goes out to those who have lost their homes and to those who are being evacuated and have no idea if their homes are still standing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. To all the fire fighters - you are the bravest of the brave and we can't thank you enough for what you do.
