A LARGE and apparently vicious koala has attacked a small dog in the yard of an Aberfoyle Park home.
Oakridge Rd resident Norm Malley said his small Shitzu-cross was out in his yard early this morning when it was bailed up by a large male koala.
"I heard barking and hissing outside and when I went out there was a really big koala bailing up the dog," he said.
Neither animal was willing to give any ground during the tense stand-off, which Mr Malley likened to "prize fighters in the ring".
"I knew who was going to win and I wasn't really worried about the koala," he said.
"It was about four times the size of my little dog."
The stand-off ended when Mr Malley was able to grab his dog, which was bailed up against the fence, and the koala escaped up a tree.
A TWO-year-old girl has been savagely attacked by a wallaby at White Rock in Cairns.
The Cairns Post reports Tamar Hutchins and her daughter Susan were feeding their horses on a property they rent when the wallaby sprang from the bushes and attacked late on Tuesday.
"It had her head in its mouth and was slamming its back legs into her repeatedly," Ms Hutchins said.
"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have ever believed it."

Neither story reports if the animals had been drinking. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if they had been.

When Chris Rickard freed his dog Rocky from beneath a kangaroo trying to drown it in a dam, he had another problem: how to get back on land to save himself as the roo lashed him with its razor-sharp claws.
"That's when the kangaroo actually leapt at me," Mr Rickard, 49, told The Age. "He did take a swing at me. That's what opened the cut above (my) eye. I thought that would be the end of it. I backed out with the dog, but the roo followed us."
The epic battle began when Mr Rickard and Rocky were walking on his Arthurs Creek property, about 45 kilometres north-west of Melbourne, and startled the roo, which Rocky chased into the dam.
The roo quickly got the better of Rocky and Mr Rickard plunged into the water to rescue his dog. When he brought Rocky to the surface, the dog's eyes were open but he was completely limp.
"That's not the behaviour of a dog that's still got any fight in it," he said, adding that 30 seconds longer "you've got a dead dog".
Mr Rickard said the roo then tried to push him under the water.

VB gives me splitting headache, no really, even after one beer, it's the bloody chemicals in it.
My favourite Au beer:
JW loves this one:

THIS year's Schoolies festival has turned ugly.
One teen has already been banned from Surfers Paradise after facing court yesterday over a violent late-night robbery, while spiralling arrest numbers, mostly due to binge-drinking, have left police exasperated.
And police are not the only ones fed up - Surfers Paradise residents have contacted The Courier-Mail reporting holes in walls and projectiles being thrown from high-rise balconies and windows.
RESIDENTS of one of the Gold Coast's best known high-rises are calling for Schoolies to be banned after a hellish first 48 hours of "bedlam" in their residential building.
Residents of Q1 - who had considered legal avenues to ban schoolies from their building, say they have been copping the brunt of alcohol-fuelled revelling from more than 500 schoolies staying in the building.
During a brief inspection yesterday, The Courier-Mail discovered Q1 maintenance workers had repaired almost 20 holes in walls on one floor alone during the first two nights of the festival.

Jeez got that right!
But I have to say, the Breakfast Creek Hotel in Brisbane (haven't been there for a few years, I hope they haven't stuffed it up) has beer on the wood. Problem is to get there before it runs out you have to be early. Really early
