Yes! The mountains are actually a bit of a koala paradise thanks to their large ratio of eucalyptus trees, which are the only food choice for these cute little marsupials.

When the eucalyptus oil fills the atmosphere and interacts with the other elements in the air, it creates mystifying rays of blue light that coat the mountains.
