The AWM folk provided some better shots of Koala and some of the NSW division that I have someplace .

hi Gina,
That looks like Wallaby in the foreground of your attachment and on exercise in Victoria.

There are some excellent photos of the 5 that were sent to the NSW unit on the State Library website. Seem to recollect they were taken at the Victoria barracks and looking like they had just been shipped in.
