Morialta Conservation Park is beautiful reminder of what the untouched Adelaide Hills would have been like before Western settlement.
The park is also a popular place for observing koalas and on this occasion we spotted two koalas in the trees. Some others said they had counted nine in the hour or so they had been walking.
Near the end of our walk a man stopped to rest nearby. I asked him how his walk had been and he lamented that neither him or his wife had seen a single koala. With that I smiled and asked him to look up, pointed out a koala up high in the gum tree we we standing under and made his day.
