Uh oh Koal-o's

According to AOL News, the Koala population is being ravaged by Chlamydia.


Researchers aren't sure how the marsupials first came in contact with the disease. However it leads to pink eye and kidney infections and eventually infertility amongst the cuddly tree-huggers.

If a vaccine isn't developed, koalas are expected to become extinct within the decade.

So sad!

Aussie of the Week

HUGH JACKMAN








PINEAPPLES & MACADAMIA

Who knew?



I thought macadamian nuts were from Macadamia. 


Macadamia is apparently a tree. Not a country
A tree found in Australia


Macadamia trees are friends with pineapple plants. 


And can be found cohabiting together at


THE BIG PINEAPPLE.



You can explore the wonders of the rain forest, on the outskirts of 
this pineapple plantation paradise... complete with Macadamia!


AND look at this ice cream shop...



YUM.
