Jenny, Rachel and I went fora hike in the Otway National Forest to seem some spectacular waterfalls. On our way down into the valley we heard a low, guttural snorting sound. Rachel asked if it was a dragon and mt first thought was wild boar (because when we were all traveling in Germany for the last dragon boat World's we had to cut through a forest to get form the train station to the race site and we were warned to watch out for wild boar). Jenny's response was that it must be a frog since we didn't hear anything moving.
So on we walked. We were in a rainforest area and the ferns are gigantour!
On our way out, Rachel happened to look up, way up as the trees are hundreds of meters tall, and spotted a Koala sacked out on a branch. Ever seen a Koala sleep? It's great, then loose all form and become little sacks of fur.
We started looking around at other trees and spotted one more Koala. Then we heard some rustling in the underbrush and Rachel got a little panicky, said "Snake"a lot and started moving us all away. The glimpse I got was of some part of a rather large red snake headed up the hill. That was the end of our nature watching for that day.
We're still not sure what the sound was but I'm going with Koala.
