0299 Yanchep National Park, Western Australia

A koala eating or maybe just sticking it's tongue out at me at Yanchep National Park in Western Australia. The koala (Phascolarctos cinereus or, inaccurately, koala bear) is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae, and its closest living relatives are the wombats. It is easily recognizable by its stout, tailless body; round, fluffy ears; and large, spoon-shaped nose. Because of its distinctive appearance, the koala is recognized worldwide as a symbol of Australia. The koala has one of the smallest brains in proportion to body weight of any mammal.

Yanchep National Park in Western Australia, 42 kilometres (26 mi) north of Perth. The park is noted for its caves, native bush and koala colonies. It also offers cultural educational programmes offered in partnership with the local Nyoongar aboriginal people. The area was inhabited and was a noted hunting site for thousands of years by Indigenous Australians prior to the arrival of Europeans. The tribal name for the park is Nyanyi-Yandjip named after the reeds and lake which were thought to resemble the hairy mane of the dreamtime creature the Waugul. The word Yanchep is derived from Yandjip or Yanget which is the aboriginal name for the local bulrush reed found fringing the lakes in the area.
