NELL, Bruce, Samuel, Eve and Harriet share an unbreakable bond — they are all orphans.

Merridy Montarello, koala co-ordinator at Fauna Rescue SA, says each creature had its own personality.

“The five (photographed) together was just awesome, heart-melting,” Ms Montarello told Today Tonight.

“A lot of people think we put them together, but we didn’t, these koalas actually have all gone through the same situation and they know that so they’ve become bonded.

“This is actually how they walk around, like a koala train. To get that train was magic.”

Ms Cearns visited Adelaide Koala & Wildlife Hospital and Fauna Rescue South Australia to promote their work to the world.

“We have some of the most adorable native animals in Australia and it’s the responsibility of all of us to help with their care and preservation,” she said.
