John Price was the first known European to record the koala. This occurred 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".
Price did not, however, name the koala. The name was derived over time from various names for the koala in different aboriginal dialects. Some of the other names are cola/colah, koolah, boorabee, kaola, burrenbong and koolewong. The first written name for the koala was "koolah", given in an article in the "Sydney Gazette", around 1803.
