  t is illegal to have a Koala as a pet anywhere, even in Australia. The only people who are permitted to have a Koala in their possession, besides suitably authorised zoos, are, occasionally, scientists, and the people who are taking care of sick or injured Koalas or orphaned joeys. These people must have a special permit from wildlife authorities to do this work and the carers must return the animals to the wild as soon as they are well enough or, in the case of joeys, old enough, to take care of themselves. Because of Koalas’ unique physiological and dietary needs, it is a specialised job to take care of them and requires training from people who have experience in doing it. Koalas are wild animals Source: www.savethekoala.com/about-koalas/frequently-asked-questi... Yet, it is quite exciting to hold a koala and make it an eternity to have a photo of that moment.

  On the clicker press, top left, the operator appears to be stamping out the small, koala noses from black leather. See a clicker press in closeup here - flic.kr/p/2kt9EwM The patterns are being cut from kangaroo hides laid out on the trestle tables; and stitched by the women on the Singer industrial sewing machines on the central bench.
