WINNER of the Koala Gardens 2024 Wild Koala Day Poetry Competition
Koala My World
In the heart of Tuckurimba’s embrace,
Where eucalyptus whispers weave their grace,
Lies Koala Gardens, a haven so serene,
A refuge for koalas, wild and free, unseen.
Katrina, the founder with eyes that gleam,
Her spirit dances with each sun-kissed beam,
She whispers to the leaves, “Koala my World.”
A promise to protect as each shoot uncurls.
Mist, the koala, leads her merry band,
Through gum-scented forests, hand in hand,
Their adventures etched in pages, tales unfold,
In a book that captures hearts, both young and old.
Koalas, like dreams, cling to ancient trees,
Their fur soft as moonlight, their gaze at ease,
And as Mother Nature weaves her magic spell,
The gum tree habitat rewilds, where shadows dwell.
Koality leaves sway, a symphony of green,
As private landowners join the unseen,
Regenerating hope, one tree at a time,
For every leaf rustles a promise, sublime.
So let us honor these koala souls,
Their silhouettes against the sunset’s gold,
For in protecting koalas, we find our power,
And every tree we plant becomes a flower.
Koala Gardens at Tuckurimba is a place of wonder, where the magic of nature and human dedication intertwine. Katrina’s passion echoes through the leaves, and Mist’s adventures inspire us all.
