Blinky

Port Macquarie, New South Wales

There are few things in this world as disarmingly soft as a koala looking right at you. Blinky is tucked into the crook of a eucalyptus, a gum leaf brushing their chin, those warm brown eyes holding you completely still. This is Australia at its most gentle — a quiet moment with one of the country’s most beloved creatures, captured close enough to feel the calm.
