The koala's environment is typically Australian eucalyptus bushland. The trees may grow close together, or there may be patches of eucalyptus trees near suburbia, where other trees have been knocked down.
Australian gum trees grow tall and straight, with numerous branches and grey-green leaves. Their trunks vary from smooth and pale to rough, stringy and reddish brown.

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.
