Last time I looked there were trees

Where has my home gone? 
This puzzled koala was discovered sitting on a pile of shredded bark and sawdust - a place it once inhabited - after forestry workers felled trees in NSW's Vittoria State Forest, Australia.

"Koalas would have been moved out of their homes in preparation for planned logging activities," WIRES NSW general manager Leanne Taylor said.

"It is common for koalas to roam back to their home range afterwards and become confused to find nothing there.

"A worker noticed a koala had been sitting stationary in broad daylight on top of wood piles for over an hour."

Ms Taylor said the male koala was taken to a local vet and later released near an established koala colony.
