They don't.
Generally, Australia's climate is warm, and koalas thrive in warmer regions, but they are by no means restricted to a warm environment alone. Koalas can be found in a range of climatic conditions, as long as they have their food requirements met. They are known to inhabit cooler areas of southern Australia, including sub-alpine regions, and extend north up the Queensland coast (sub-tropical, but not rainforests) and inland where the weather is hotter and drier.
They are found right along the eastern coast down to Victoria, and in pockets of eastern South Australia, where summer temperatures can exceed 40 degrees and winter temperatures drop to almost zero.
They are not found in alpine areas.

Do koalas camouflage with their environment?
Koalas do not actively employ camouflage, but their natural colouring and tendency to stay still for hours does help them to camouflage. Koalas are various shades of light to darker grey, with a cream belly. When they nestle high in gum trees, the light filtering past the gum leaves has a dappled look on both the koalas and the gum branches which are similarly dappled. This makes it much more difficult to detect koalas in trees.
