Where did the word koala come from?
The term "koala" (applied to a small Australian marsupial) apparently survives from the Aboriginal language known as "Dharuk", in which the word for the small bear-like creatures was "gula" (koola). Another possibility: The first known record of the koala by Europeans came during the time Governor Hunter commanded the NSW colony. After his men returned from an expedition into the Blue Mountains, on 26 January 1798, one reported seeing a new type of animal, resembling a sloth in its movements, which the local natives called a "cullawine". It would seem the word "koala" has derived from a combination of these two Aboriginal words.
