Sorry, Moriarty, there was an entire series of Wild Kingdom shows set in Australia. I can't believe that anyone could forget: "The Koala lives in the Eucalyptus tree, and its leaves are his only source of nourishment. If something happens to his home, he can just move to the next tree. But if something happens to your home, it can be much more serious. So carefully consider home insurance from Mutual of Omaha, wombat-breath!" The quote is paraphrased, it's been a while... :-) Carl {allegra,ihnp4}!convex!ctvax!uokvax!lmaher
