While in Sydney we will be taking a Blue Mountain tour. But the cool aspect to this is that we have the option to pet kangaroos and hold koalas. Normally I would be excited about this, but after recently reading an article I am especially ready for this portion. The article was talking about how koalas are now functionally extinct due to the wildfires in Australia. These fires have burned approximately 80% of the natural habitat for the Koalas. That being said I am excited to talk to the employees and see what their take on this issue is and if they have thought of ways to help. Koalas look so cute and the fact that I have the option to hold one during this very trying time for their population has me on a whole new level. This is also especially cool because part of this program focuses on sustainability and I feel as this is the perfect transition into that topic.

Kasey,
This is something that I am very excited about as well! Koalas are the cutest little things (even though they can be huge) and just seem so warm and cuddly to hold. I have loved Koalas every since I was little, and have always dream of doing something like this. The fact that I get to do something like this is making the inner child in me go crazy!
