Current Goal

"Coastal Koala" wants to visit caches in Honshu, Kyushu, Hokkaido and Shikoku Island from 2012 until 2016. Then, return to Port Macquarie, Australia, please.

If anyone is going to Japan, or knows someone going to Japan, please take Coastal Koala there so he can fulfill his touring ambitions.  He's been in Europe since mid-2012.  [|)]

About This Item

Coastal KoalaThe koala is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia, and the only representative of the family Phascolarctidae.
 
Wild koalas are found from west of Cairns in Far North Queensland right down into South Australia, with the vast majority of the populations on the coastal side of the mountain ranges right down into Victoria.  Koalas rely almost totally on the moisture they obtain from the eucalypt leaf they eat, so most populations are found occupying better quality eucalypt forests close to water courses and more fertile soils.
 
Where koalas are able to live in undisturbed forests free of human interference, the colonies tend to be much healthier and do not suffer the diseases and problems that koalas face who live at the human/bush interface such as urban and rural areas.
 
The koala is a threatened or endangered species which is under pressure from disease, loss of habitat, attack from feral and domestic cats and dogs and being killed or injured by motor traffic.

This little Koala TB loves the Coast.  He originated in Port Macquarie NSW Australia, where there is a specialist hospital treating sick and injured koalas with the aim of eventual release into the wild.
 
“Coastal Koala” will go anywhere and he likes caches found in coastal environments.  After touring Japan until at least the year 2016, and visiting caches in Honshu, Kyushu, Hokkaido and Shikoku Island, he would like to return to Australia, and specifically to the Coastal Walk in Port Macquarie, NSW.  The cacher who then logs Coastal Koala on “Coastal Walk #1: Beautiful Lighthouse Beach” GC39ERW should email the cache and TB owner (LHBfans) immediately.  We will then have a nice reunion with Coastal Koala and enjoy some local hospitality with the returning cacher.

We live in Australia.  We have visited Japan many times for vacation.

Discovered It 5/13/2014 Team_deGroot discovered it   Visit Log

Discovered it in "Braedan's TB hotel (aka Braedan's 1e geocache)"

Dropped Off 5/12/2014 The Tollies placed it in Braedan's TB hotel (aka Braedan's 1e geocache) Zuid-Holland, Netherlands - 20.87 miles  Visit Log

Unfortunately we did not find any other suitable caches in Bali nor in Hong Kong to drop off this trackable.

We took it back with us to Holland instead where it is now (with 4 of his friends) in a very nice TB hotel owned by our 9-year old son.

We hope your trackable will travel further soon! Happy travels! ;-)
