<\/p>\nThis is our (almost) weekly segment where we review the content posted on our Twitter over the course of the week. It\u2019s a long post! So make sure you grab a coffee and prepare yourself for some serious reading.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
But first, here’s a picture of a koala that stopped by my place this past week. We had five days in a row over 40C (104F), and the animals, such as this koala, suffered. Koalas aren’t ‘cute and cuddly’ – they have big claws and do bite! \u00a0I cautiously gave this guy a drink… He took water from me and didn’t run away, showing how dehydrated he really was!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We had a cool change and koala climbed up a tree and then disappeared, so we can only assume that he has recovered from the hot spell.<\/p>\n
