Overview
- The CityGlider driver spotted the koala on Wiles Street at Camp Hill attempting to climb a metal light pole and feared it might fall.
- He covered the animal’s head with a jacket, contained it on the bus, and contacted Koala Rescue Brisbane South for assistance.
- Photos and video shared by the rescue showed the koala, dubbed Peri, calmly gripping a bus pole while awaiting wildlife experts.
- Peri was examined at an RSPCA wildlife hospital, received a clean bill of health, and was relocated to Seven Hills Bushland Reserve for release.
- Rescuers advised against untrained handling and recommended dark, low‑stress containment such as a laundry basket with a towel, noting a bus can suffice in an emergency.
