I’m from Australia and I’d just like to thank all of you for all your kind thoughts and donations. You don’t understand what it means to all of us over here to know that the whole world is behind us. And sam the koala (pictured here) is doing really well and she’s expected to make a full recovery. this firefighter named her sam after his daughter who is the one who took the video. cheers mates

Ok, I’m totally crying.

Hey CO gods, you should post the pic of that possum and the links to donate… it would get even more people (those who don’t read the comments) to help out!

This picture, in full color, was on the front page of my local newspaper this week.

Goodness knows that the news media needs more cuteness!

If Cute Overload and DListed had a baby, what would it look like?

Whoa… I looked up from this screen to the Today Show on TV… and they’re interviewing David Tree. o_O

Awesome story. It’s always good to see something positive like this amid the chaos and pain of the fires. Here’s hoping they get the fires out entirely very soon.

Apparently Sam is now inseparable with Bob, the male koala.
