The Murray River is known for its great fishing and also its koala population that inhabit the large gum trees that grow along the banks. It's not uncommon to encounter koalas while fishing from the banks of the Murray, this family however had a once in a lifetime opportunity to actually fish with a koala. After wandering around their campsite for a few minutes, the cheeky marsupial then decided it would like to try his hand at this fishing thing. The clever koala must have been watching a few fisherman as, apart from mastering the reel, showed some pretty good instinct with fishing rod in hand.
