Its been a year since I arrived in South Australia, not sure if it is because the koalas have got the best fur and the best smile of all, except for the ever grumpy males (see on Youtube: Koala males fighting) or if it is the constant crisp eucalypt smell through hot days that kept me in this part of Australia for so long....winter was cold and cloudy, felt like it would never end...managed to go on a few bike rides on sunny days, just to get my fingers frozen .....escaped to a few places, Melbourne - much worse than Adelaide - to see Marion and Alan who had a new baby girl; Sydney to attend a film making workshop that inspired me a lot for 'Cheaky the koala' project, Cairns for a guide jobs...and of course many trips to Kangaroo Island to escort Belgium and Canadian groups to see the sea lions, tamars, black tiger snake, echidnae.... stocking up on ligurian bee honey and eucalypt oil from the distillery.
Cheaky's mum had a new baby, got lots of love and care from her, learnt how to get his own food and to be independent at a very young age; still very small, Mum kicked him out of her tree, looks like she is keeping an eye at distance....
Christmas is near, the traffic is crazy, shopping centers parkings are mad, it s hot, what a nice day to be in the library to update the blog and wish you all a Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2016
