FORMER American President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle visited Moonlit Sanctuary, Pearcedale where they were able to get close to a koala.
Posting on her Facebook page, Michelle Obama said the couple loved every minute of their Australian itinerary, which included a visit to the Sydney Opera House.
The Obamas were in the country for a speaking tour of New South Wales and Victoria, arriving on 27 March and flying back to the United States two weeks later.
“I am so grateful for the generosity and hospitality the Australian people showed me and Barack everywhere we went,” the former First Lady posted.
“I’ve been wanting to visit for such a long time, and can’t wait to go back.”
