A thirsty koala seeking sanctuary in a suburban backyard has befriended the residents’ similar koala tree decoration.
Rainer Harman said he and his family saw a tired koala sitting at the foot of a tree in the garden of their home in Adelaide’s north-east on Tuesday.
He said the koala was shy at first, but accepted the family’s help when he saw the other “koala”.
“As the whole family gathered around to watch, she kind of went up, obviously very tired,” Mr Harman told Nine News.

After drinking for a few minutes, the vague visitor, Mr. Harman, tapped on it.
“After quenching her thirst – she drank a lot – she climbed a little higher, found a comfortable place and went to sleep,” he said.
The family said it was a “pleasure” to get so close to the “thirsty visitor”.

The glorious moment came at the same time the NSW Labor Party announced a plan to create a Great Koala National Park on the state’s north-central coast ahead of the NSW general election in March.
NSW Opposition Leader Chris Minns said the plan was designed to save the marsupials, with Australian wildlife experts claiming the animal could become extinct by 2050.
Labor said it would spend $80 million to create the reserve in existing national parks and state forests between Kempsey and Grafton.
