Koala’s Bucket

Posted on 12 February 2009 by


No, it’s not a new computer game, but the cuteness overload was so great that I had to share. I’m unsure this email’s original source, but mom just passed it on to me.

You might want some coffee to go with this sweet…

It has been so hot in South Australia for over a week…40+ degrees Celsius (104 degree Fahrenheit) everyday, very dry also.

A guy at work lives at Maude. His wife sent him these photos of a little Koala which just walked into the back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. She filled up a bucket and this is what happened! (Photos are dated 30 January 2009)

The little koala’s docility seems a bit shocking, but the interaction is precious.

Say it with me now…awwwwww!

Now perhaps we know who stole the Walrus’ bukkit!

Update: Julie just told me she saw this on Cute Overload the other day. I don’t know if that site is the original source or not, but it’s defintiely worth checking out if you like seeing things that make you go awwww.

Side note – how wild that I used the phrase “cuteness overload” as a description!  Great site, apt name, now bookmarked. :-)

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
