Koalas are fussy animals....about who they keep company with.
If the english lass wore perfume on the day....the koala bears would have smelled her coming a mile away and simply shuffled out of sight. Their sense of smell is remarkably acute. They also have incredibly sensitive hearing....mainly because they have poor eyesight.
She was lucky, being in sunny downtown noosa (Queensland) the drop bears must have known she was around and decide to ummm, go away too.
Anyway (on a more serious note) it's a shame she didnt get see a koala in the flesh, in the wild.
Maybe they heard she was filming for tiktok and kept their distance.

Just so you know...Spoon Bay is listed as a :CALM BAY:......the number of drownings there tell otherwise.....and the owners of Airbnb's in the area do nothing to dispel that fact.
First rule of swimming ...DO NOT SWIM ON AN UNPATROLLED BEACH
Read It if you swim
I've been ocean swimming for years, I know how to spot a rip. Last weekend, I almost drowned in one
Last weekend, whilst swimming in what looked like a protected natural rock pool, I was pulled into a dangerous rip that was dumping onto a reef. My mind cleared as I slowed down and I thought: "So this is it. This is how people drown."

Big Red Bash begins: Australia's most remote music festival is off to a soggy start for the second consecutive year, with unseasonal rain falling in Birdsville. About 8,000 people are at this year's Big Red Bash. The rain caused road closures and delayed roll-in for attendees, but the final festival goers have now arrived at the site. Artists including Colin Hay, Casey Barnes and Baby Animals are set to take to the stage today, (Tuesday, July 2).
