The five-month-old joey, along with mum Tam Tam, will soon check out from Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, returning home to the idyllic eucalypts of Elanora on the southern Gold Coast.

She represents another small step towards ensuring the long-term survival of koalas in south-east Queensland and along the eastern seaboard.
