Adelaide family returns home to find koala perched on Christmas tree in lounge room

An Adelaide Hills family has returned to their home after a short outing to find a koala perched on the Christmas tree in their lounge room.
Key points:
- Koalas are usually found in eucalypts, but one took a liking to another kind of tree
- Wildlife rescuers initially thought the call to help remove the animal was a prank
- The koala was safely relocated to a nearby tree outside
Coromandel Valley home owner Amanda McCormick told ABC Radio Adelaide she was “shocked” to discover the animal sitting in the plastic tree, surrounded by baubles, stars and snowflakes.
“I got home from work and the dog made a beeline for the Christmas tree and I noticed all of the decorations on the floor,” she said.
