The Adelaide and Hills Koala Rescue group – who were called to rescue the animal; shared the story of the lovable Christmas koala on their Facebook page saying:
“This evening our hotline operator took a call. At first she thought it she was the victim of a prank call. But no, a koala desperate to get in the Christmas spirit had wandered into Amanda McCormick’s house and decided it wanted to be the fairy on the Christmas tree.”

One of the rescuers explained to 9 News that it is not unheard of for koalas to end up in the strangest of places, but this was the first time that they found one on a Christmas tree.
“Koalas are very curious creatures and if the opportunity presents itself, they will investigate,” the rescuer said. “We have rescued koalas in chicken coops, bathrooms, open inspections, children’s prams, bicycles, brooms, toy cars but a Christmas tree is a first for us.”
