Gilded koala
Known around the world as the cuddly ' koala ', the name of this famous marsupial is said to have been derived from the Dharug word ' gula ' or ' gulamany ', meaning ' no drink ' or ' no water '
The people of the Dharug nation are the traditional custodians of the greater Sydney region in New South Wales. The name comes from the observation that these animals rarely consume much water. In fact, the majority of their water intake comes from their diet of fresh eucalyptus leaves.
