A koala there in Teddy Bear Lane

An eagle-eyed resident of Teddy Bear Lane in Cowes spotted a newcomer to the area.

William Furniss took these photos of a koala curled up in the trees near his house last week.

“Last time we had a koala in Teddy Bear Lane was 2005,” he said.

Wildlife Victoria and Phillip Island Nature Parks were alerted, with rangers popping out to do a quick health check.

In the meantime, Teddy Bear Lane’s newest arrival seemed unperturbed with all the attention.
