#2 Kangaroo Island, South Australia
Have you ever been felt overwhelmed by cuteness while experiencing emotions of extreme jealousy? If you’ve answered no, it’s clear you have never seen this picture of Chris Hemsworth’s biceps wrapped around a koala in a warm embrace.
What did we ever do to deserve you, The Internet?
You can only legally cuddle a koala in three states: Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia, in a select few sanctuaries and wildlife parks where visits are strictly monitored, and the koalas are very well cared for.
And, you guessed it, Kangaroo Island is one of those places.
