Doing what Koala's do best... sleeping. Quite amazing how they just sit there and sleep without falling out. It was a hard shot to get, but I managed to find this little gap between the tree's and leaves.

Most predators capable of killing them are land based (Dingos, Tasmanian Devils, feral dogs, etc) and cannot get into the trees to attack them. Currently just a P&S, but watch this space.
