About This Item

Kiwi the Koala


A little koala bear, just a few inches high, wearing a blue Air New Zealand logo jacket.

Kiwi has had many adventures all ready. She traversed North America and then had the wonderful fortune to be picked up by a sailor on the Polar Star, who took her with him to Australia, Tasmania, Antarctica, and the South Pole! She also got to cross the X where the International Dateline meets the Equator.

Please keep this intrepid little traveler moving to lots of interesting places. Thanks!

You can also check in on her little brother Ozzie's travels, here.

Retrieve It from a Cache 7/23/2004 richw42 retrieved it from Winston Washington   Visit Log

Help! I've been kidnapped! After an amazing trip by plane, car, boat, and school bus I thought I had found a nice home in Winston. It was a very comfortable transparent jar, so I could get a good view of the old automobile (ca. 1937) I was under. Well, I was only there a couple days, when this guy opens my jar, dumps everything out, spots me, and stuffs me into his backpack. Then, after a couple days in Holden, it was back downhill in the school bus, down lake Chelan in the boat, and across the cascades in a car. Now I find myself lost on a messy desk, amidst a pile of papers, candy, sunglasses, pens, and just about anything else you could think of. I could easily be lost here for months, considering the housekeeping skills of the owner. Luckily, he left his laptop sitting nearby so that I was able to send this plea for help. Please, if you're anywhere near Everett, Washington, come and rescue me!

And she's off! She's had a busy trip even before this... I found her in a California cache, and decided that she'd make a great TB. Her attire suggests that she may have been born in New Zealand, and so she's headed there in search of her roots. But, she wants to see a bit of the USA first.

So she flew with me to Long Island NY, and then accompanied me on a Greyhound bus to Philly and then King of Prussia. She was released a bit to the west of there.

She hasn't been in Rhode Island, contrary to what her "origin" states - she'd planned to travel there, but she was released ahead of schedule due to GPS flakiness in the greater Atlantic cloud cover.
