About This Item

A fond farewell with Mum

A koala who longs to travel. I am easy going but unlike many of my family, I DO want to move further than the next gum tree.

I grabbed this bloke from "West of the Wall" and left it at "Casey Chambers" the same day ...
being a long way from home and internet makes it hard to keep logs current ... so as to not stuff up its movements I will log it as a discovery ... cheers

Mission accomplished time to head back home to my American family in Michigan. I will be looking for a cache to wait and hope someone heading toward the USA will pick me up. It was an incredable coincidence to meet up with the same geocachers after travelling around Australia! It will be sad to part with my geocaching hosts we have seen a lot of the world together, 5 cruise ships, Hawaii, British Colombia, Alberta, Alaska, Washington, California, Mexico and circumnavigating Australia, NSW, Victoria, WA, SA and the Northern Territory WOW!!!

After circum navigating Australia and a trip back to San Diago (someone told me my relatives were in the zoo there) I found the rest of my family in Townsville Queensland - at last - my relatives were so pleased to see me. We got to sit in the gum trees together I met some other friends kanga and wombat. The geocachers looking after me took some photos. Sadly we will part again at the next cache and I hope to return to Michigan. Wow what a trip this has been!! You must check out the photos
