Koala hospital in Port Macquarie on 23rd June

On Thursday morning I went for a scenic costal walk in Port Macquarie and then went to the koala hospital. It was something like a dream com true, because I was so close to those cute little things..
It is the only koala hospital in the world. They give shelter to koalas who got run over by a car, bitten by a dog or who fell from trees, just to give you an example. Most of the koalas suffered from clamydia which is really dangerous for them, but luckily it is cureable. Other ones have a broken bone or problems with their eye.. Those injuries can lead to life long disability of the koalas, because if they just have one good leg or are blind they are not able to climb at trees or escpae predators..
But most koalas can be released in the wild again.
When I was there, there weren`t many koalas, which is a good thing, even though I just saw 7 koalas.
I think about adopting a koala, which only costs $55 a year (36€). You should check out the website. Unfortunately the hospital doesn`t get financial support from the government therefore they are happy for every donation.
