"The door just sort of opened next to the koala who looked around and sort of said 'yeah I’m down with this' and went inside," she said.

"I had to announce that there was a koala incoming, which is so bizarre and all of my friends are hanging it on me -- I had to say don’t be alarmed there’s a koala coming around the corner!"

The local vet was called in to help relocate the koala to a more suitable environment. Like a tree.
