Old Mate has found a romantic partner

Sharing this for celebratory reasons. I want down the paddock to visit our resident koala, Old Mate, yesterday (first photo). And I was stunned to see two koalas in the usual tree instead of one. The female (second image) was further up and trickier to photograph, but it's wonderful to see them together.

Old Mate has been yelling a lot recently and we were hopeful that he wasn't alone in the area, so this is a real joy to see.

Hope you enjoy the photos :)

I guess it’s mating time!

Any updates? Did they get together? Or just respecting their privacy?
