Koalawalla Woods

I just felt that I would also like to include this in here since it's a cartoon featuring a pair of koalas named Blinky Koala and Pinky Koala. It is an older cartoon from back in the 80s and early 90s called Noozles I liked watching when I was much younger.

If you haven't heard of it before, Noozles is about the adventures of a twelve year-old girl named Sandy Brown and her koala friends, Blinky and Pinky, who are from the extra-dimensional realm of Koalawalla Land and is where I had thought of the name for this community from.

Later on in the series, Blinky and Pinky bring Sandy to Koalawalla Land, which is ruled by this wise of koala who is known as the High Dingy Doo. Since humans aren't allowed there, Sandy has to wear a koala mask during each visit. Also according to the cartoon, there is a portal to Koalawalla Land at Ayers rock.

The koala I really like in Noozles is Blinky which this is what he looks like, even though his sister Pinky is also cute.

Even though he originates as a stuffed koala named Blinky that came in a package lost in a shipwreck 38 years ago from Sandy's long-lost grandfather, and is asleep until Sandy gives him a 'noozle' which wakes him up from magic sleepy time where he appears to be a stuffed toy, I have been wondering if there was an actual stuffed toy made of him.

Since there doesn't appear to be any and no picture anywhere suggesting that it had existed at one time in the last thirty to forty years, I have been thinking about getting one made and thought about how it may look like if a four foot high Super Sydney Koala was used and dressed in Blinky's clothes.

Since I seen one years ago on eBay that was already sold at the time, I have managed to save the picture of it to show what I would be looking for, which this is what it looks like.

By the way, I did find out there was a Noozles plush that had been available sometime ago when I asked someone on another social network if Blinky existed as a plush toy, and got sent this picture which I have saved for reference.

From what I can tell, that plush koala appears to have originated from Japan since it looks like its written in Japanese on the box, but it doesn't look like Blinky or Pinky in it and has me wondering who it could be, the High Dingy Doo perhaps?

Moving on to actual live koalas and thinking where it should begin, I remembered about reading about the koala whisperer and pulled up that article again. The following is a little bit from that article as it is linked here.

At first glance, Izzy Bee seems like your typical 13-year-old Australian girl. She loves hanging out with her friends and is currently enjoying Year 7 of school. Once you get to know her, you soon realize she is anything but typical!

Bee is known as The Koala Whisperer. She has her own show on Netflix called “Izzy’s Koala World.” Bee’s mother Ali is a veterinarian who bought an animal clinic with her husband Tim.

Now, Izzy works with her parents on the show, rescuing koalas and releasing them back into the wild on Magnetic Island in Australia.

This is also koala related which I think that I will also include here since it was in my original koala post on Reddit.

Months ago, I had discovered there is a prototype for a Care Bear Cousin that is a Koala which is going on forty years old now and has never been produced or released. This is the only picture there is of it.

According to some Australians on Reddit, there have made at least three suggestions on what the koala could have been named if released, which are the following.

• Nurture Heart Koala
• Tranquil Heart Koala
• Peaceful Heart Koala

If this koala was made (and this is probably where the ordinal misunderstanding probably happened due to it being worded wrong, because I was not attempting to get someone in the subreddit it had posted in to mass produce it or anything like that), named, seen in Australia (particularly in Queensland and New South Wales), and it's caring mission is to help save and protect the koala population from extinction, it was thought that she could or might make a very good talking point that could lead to helping koala populations there.

Since someone has stated in another topic in another community thinks that my idea about a possible story series about a koala girl fighting deforestation in the land down under is a great idea, I'm going to include it here and tell you about it.

When I came across this image of a koala statue in a subreddit on Reddit that is dressed up as Sailermoon and also has her hairdo, it had given me the idea of it being Sailor Koala and her mission is to fight against deforestation of her native woodlands in Australia and to protect her koala friends.

The idea that I was thinking here is of a story series or something to be created based from this, and would be about her adventures in fighting deforestation of her native land in Australia. I had been thinking while this story line progresses, it could bring about actual ideas and discussion about actions to take towards saving the koala population in Australia from extinction.

Also, Sailor Koala could have this theme song based from the Sailormoon theme song, which is an idea I came up with that goes something like this.

♪ Fighting deforestation evil by moonlight! Winning koala love by daylight! Never running from a real fight, she is the one named Sailor Koala! She will never turn her back on her koala friends, she is always there to defend! She is the one on whom koalas can depend... She is the one named Sailor Koala! With secret koala powers, all so new to her! She is the one named Sailor Koala! ♪

If you think this is a good idea or not, free free to let me know what you think of this there.

This is just to let you know some more about myself as I figured this should be here in order to try to limit any further misunderstandings.

Just so you know, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome years ago and also have OCD. The reason I know that I have it is because of the amount of times I wash my hands and the times I turn around and go back to the mailbox to check to make sure I didn’t forget any mail in it and I had closed the mailbox after checking and getting the mail, and go back to make sure I put the flag up after putting something in the mailbox to be mailed off.

I recently noticed I have been getting some understandings and possible disrespectful responses to me, perhaps due to how I word things while I'm also dealing with frustration while being tired due to some situation that is keeping me up later than I wanted to be. This time, it is stemmed from an incident that happened on Reddit where a topic of mine had been deleted by a mod. Due to them not having a Modlog that is accessible by non-mods like Lemmy, I really had no idea what happened or what their reasoning behind the deletion was to avoid me becoming frustrated and not thinking clearly. On top of that, I just looked on Reddit for something of mine I felt that I needed to save and use here instead, and noticed they have been down voting a few of my other posts on there for no valid reason.

Since I wasn't able to find another koala community to switch to on Reddit and Lemmy doesn't appear to have one, and that I have a love for koalas as well as concerns I have about what is happening to them in Australia, I had decided to go ahead and create this community to provide a place for discussions about that here. It is also the reason I created Konala Koala as a character of mine and my handle here, though it started further back when I originally decided to put a koala costume on my Reddit avatar.

Below is an image I have of what Konala Koala looks like, which was created by using a clipart I had gotten and making changes to it.
