A previously believed extinct species of Koala has been reportedly spotted in The Grampians, Victoria.

Bruce Highway, the world renowned bushman & naturalist has allegedly captured an image of the Rock Koala while exploring the Pinnacles in the Grampians. The Rock Koala was believed to be extinct around the beginning of the 20th century. This sighting now opens up the possibility that a group of Rock Koala’s have managed to survive & remain unseen for over one hundred years.


Bruce Highway said “I was trekking & mapping a new route across the Pinnacle when I spied an overweight Koala sleeping on a rock. He looked sound asleep, so using my bush skills I got closer & took some photographs. I was gob smacked, we all thought the Rock Koala was lost forever & there was an elderly specimen right in front of me. He stayed asleep while I took photos & checked him over. He only woke when he heard me open my choc bar wrapper. At first he seemed a bit confused & had a dazed expression on his face. But as soon as he saw my chocolate bar he appeared more alert, in fact he got quite friendly & then aggressive when he’d eaten all the chocolate bar so that I had to shoo him off with the threat of employment. The little bugger stole my best hat. They can move quickly when they want to.”
Local authorities along with British benefit fraud officers, are checking Bruce Highways Rock Koala claim & late last night refused to comment.
