Koala-ty Inn - Home Away from Home in the Outback

My miniatures club, the Miniature Maniacs of Northern Virginia, decided to create a children's play-yard as a club project.  That meant that each of us would create our own play-yard.  Since I wasn't particularly interested in using children and their toys, I decided to turn my project into a scene in the Australian Outback.  I had two gorgeous koalas by Sylvia Lyons (the mother with the baby on her back you see at the picnic under the tree) that needed a home.  I decided to turn the play-house in my play-yard into the Koala-ty Inn, a place for koalas to stay when they were going walkabout in the Outback.  My tree is supposed to be a eucalyptus.  I created kangaroos, other koalas and an emu out of Fimo.  The Crocodile Dundee Koalas were sold by Qantas airlines. I made the crocodile from Fimo.
