The koala is perhaps Australia’s most beloved and iconic animal. The cuddly koala ‘bear’ is not really a bear at all, but a marsupial. Protected by law, the koala inhabits Eucalyptus trees and feeds solely on a diet of its leaves, the oil from which, like love itself, is renowned for its healing and warming properties.
Symbolic of pure love in the natural environment, koalas represent companionship and true affection.
