Did you know that many creatures, both big and small, live in or around our dams?

When you are visiting some of our dams, you might be lucky enough to see a koala along the way!

Some areas of bushland provide habitat for koalas.

Koalas have round, fluffy ears and a spoon-shaped nose.

They eat eucalyptus leaves and can sleep for up to 22 hours a day!

Koalas are most closely related to wombats.

Female koalas have a backwards-facing pouch for their young to stay until they are fully developed.

Did you know that a baby koala is called a joey?
