Gene,

Great picture, he was a great guy, as are most GMCer's!

This was taken at the Santa Rosa Convention which was my first one. I have never attended any function where I was made to feel more
welcome even when I crashed the Western States Dinner by accident. I didn't realize it was for Western States Members only but I was
fed and given tickets for wine too boot. The next day when I found out what I'd done I was most embarrassed. I found Steve Ferguson
who took me to their Treasurer (name escapes me) so I could pay for the dinner. He would not accept payment!

I have joined Western States so that I can't do that again! ;-)

Regards,
Rob M.

Steve,
This link pretty much covers the description.
http://www.aussie-info.com/identity/fauna/koala.php

I have my 6 year old grandson staying for with us for a couple of days and I
said to him ' Koalas are not bears right' and his reply was 'No they are
Koala otherwise they would be called Kabeara' What can you say kids always
have an answer even if it is not technically right.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Gary,

Actually a bunch of the little buggers stowed away in my luggage unbeknownst to me. Once they got to CA they decided to have a bit
of a squiz (look around). Since they were so small they couldn't get very far on their own so they snuck into my jacket pockets.

At first I didn't realize that they were there but eventually I found them and didn't mind them hitching.

Turns out on the two open days whenever they would visit a coach they liked and looked comfy one of them would sneak out of my
pocket when I wasn't looking and find some inconspicuous spot to hide in the GMC I was visiting.

By the time I left to return to Sydney they had all disappeared.

I do apologize as they did not apply for visa's and therefore have contributed to the illegal alien population in CA; having said
that they don't be much of a burden on CA as they only eat eucalyptus leaves and drink water. Don't worry they won't take any local
jobs as for the most part all they do is eat, sleep (most of the time), and root (have sex).

Regards,
Rob M.

Stick,

Correct Downunder they are possums: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Possum

Which evidently are different from Upover where they are called Opossums! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opossum

The ones here are cute like their local rello's (relatives) the Koala. They have cute faces and bushy tails.

We had one living in a neighbor's tree awhile back. One afternoon he wound up on our guest back bedroom balcony looking down on our
two cats while they looked up at him (her?); it was a Mexican standoff.

I'm probably going to get into trouble for saying this but the ones over there look like big rats with pointy faces and long skinny
tails!

However, the babies found in Marsha's coach were cute.

""I have my 6 year old grandson staying for with us for a couple of days and I
said to him ' Koalas are not bears right' and his reply was 'No they are
Koala otherwise they would be called Kabeara' What can you say kids always
have an answer even if it is not technically right.

Rob, when we were traveling in Australia, we kept seeing your possums dead
on the road. We saw so many that I thought someone should be making
jackets from their pelts. Finally found a possum jacket in a specialty
shop in some small town.
