MELBOURNE: Leaders and officials attending the Asean-Australia Special Summit 2024 were given a rare opportunity to be up close with two koalas, an iconic native animal of Australia, as a break from their busy meeting schedule at Government House here.

The presence of Hank and Winnie from a private wildlife educational centre on Wednesday (March 6) certainly gave summit attendees the chance to see and feel a unique aspect of Australia.
