Koalas feel good friday

Feel-Good Friday: July 23 – Puppies, Pizzas and Diamond Encrusted Koalas


I had a dream the other night. I was at Parliament House and I was being chased by Scomo in budgie smugglers brandishing a ping-pong racket. He kept repeating something that sounded eerily like “get the AZ… get the AZ”. Not that I usually listen to Scomo, particularly when he’s wearing nothing but Cronulla Sharks themed underwear, but this did seem like quite poignant advice.

Anyway, that very next day I booked in for the Astra Zeneca. Yes, I know. How rogue of me. I should be awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery.

Well, It’s been six days now and I am yet to spontaneously combust or to grow a second head. If I’m honest, I’m a little disappointed. No mutations, no superpowers. Not even one of the cools ones. But I guess, I can walk around now looking all superior and drawing “M” for murder on the back of the f*ckwits who are still holding out on getting it.

On a different note, here’s some good news for your Friday.

Tiffany & Co. Adds Koala’s To Their “Save the Wild” Collection

Koalas are among Australia’s most beloved wildlife species. Sadly, koala populations have plummeted with the 80% reduction of their natural habitat resulting from settlement expansions across the continent, the deforestation of their environment and climate disasters such as the bushfires.

Wildlife Conservation Network.

Starting this month, you can find a sterling silver Koala charm and a silver diamond-encrusted Koala brooch available in-store and online at Tiffany & Co. The koala charm and brooch designs range from $925 to $24,800 with all proceeds going to the Wildlife Conservation Network.
