I suppose Australia is part of the Asian forum as it's what it'sthe closest too.
I am originaly from Brisbane-Queensland-Australia and it's the place I prefer on earth.
It is called the sunshine state and that sure is right...the sun, the white sand (surfers paradise is in queensland too), the great barrier reef.....so many reasons to visit queensland!!
The Koalas are so cute!!!!
Did you take the pic yourself?
No actually it's one i found on the net and thought was awsome too.
Koala's are very cute and hang on to you when you hold them..... very cuddly creatures.... the only hick is that since they eat eucalyptus all day ..they let out hummm very unconfertable smells if you see what i mean!

Moved this thread to the new Oceania Forum. Thanks for pointing that out.

If I don't have to worry about problem in life, I'll fly to Australia just to hold and hug some kaolas now.
They are so adorable. The other will be panda. Boy, they are so so... arghhh. 
Arghhh is the right comment though. Pandas get very large. They can rip you into pieces with a single strike. Here are some photos I took myself:

Are you referring to black bear? I thought Panda are not predators. So far, they attacked only out of irritation.
I don't think Panda can rip in one single strike like a Black Bear. They're just big, heavy, slow and fed on bamboo shoots and leaves. Sometime fishes and eggs.
Does Kaola have any case that attack humans? I've haven't heard of one.
Pandas are plant eaters. I think they only eat bamboo. But Rhinos are plant eaters too and still dangerous to get close to.
Pandas are very large bears. Although they look cudly (see the links I posted above), they are still extremely dangerous to get close to.
Pandas are just as large as black bears (if not larger), but I doubt that they are slow. At least the can climb just as all bears can and I bet they can easily outrun you. I have seen a video on TV of a zoo visitor who climbed behind the tourist fence and stood close to the cage. The Panda simply grabbed him through the cage and the people trying to free him had a really hard time to get him free. He had some serious injuries.
Koalas are relatively small and appear slow. I don't think a Koala could hurt you, but I would always keep my distance for the bears sake.

Koala's are beautiful animals but so are the well know Australian Kangaroos. We found a baby Kangaroo once on the road. It's mother had been killed when she was hit by a car. We had to hand it over to the local national park as it is illegal to keep Kangaroo's as pet's. In the town where I live on sunset you can actually see the Kanagaroo's come out in the paddocks to fed. They are amazing animals.

Those are really terrific pictures, I applaud andre for the great pictures. You really deserved being a photographer!
Just wondering of the crispness and the clearness of the pictures, did you do some editing or just the way they are when you have taken the shot?
