The indigenous Australians, known as the Aborigines, knew about the koala for thousands of years.
If the question refers to which non-aboriginal person found the first koala: the first known European to record the appearance of the koala is believed to have been during the command of Governor John Hunter, on 26 January 1799. Hunter had sent an expedition to the Blue Mountains, during which John Price, one of Hunter's free-servants reported on a previously unsighted, "sloth-like" animal which the Aborigines called a "cullawine".
Note that it was 11 years after the arrival of the First Fleet that the koala was even seen, because its camouflage is so effective.
