Koala crossing

Byron Bay Photographer David Young couldn’t believe his luck when he just happened to to be on the spot as a mother koala and her joey crossed the road near his house.  “They’d just gone into the undergrowth,” he says, “and all I had was my iPhone, so the shot was obtained by diving into the said undergrowth, getting under the fern canopy and trying to get an angle without ‘stuff’ in the way.  Not that my efforts were appreciated – I was being growled by an understandably grumpy mother, and it’s a fierce noise – but I like this shot because it’s so natural.”
