Kangaroo Koala!


How cute is this little fellow? I found him in a local op shop.

My younger brother had one when he was quite young (he's 37 now) and he loved it so much he rubbed most of the fur off. He named it Coojee Bear after a koala that Rolf Harris (Australian entertainer) used to appear with in the 70's.

The fur, by the way, is kangaroo fur - weird eh? These toys were pretty popular, especially with tourists when we were growing up but it seems you can still buy one. Mine only cost $4.00 AUD.
