Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are found all along the eastern coast of Australia from near Adelaide to the base of the Cape York Peninsula, and as far into the hinterland as there is enough rainfall to support suitable forests. The Koalas of South Australia were exterminated during the early part of the 20th century, but the state has since been repopulated with Victorian stock.
