And during their video call to a Dana Mitchell, co-owner of a wildlife sanctuary in the area, the royal couple met Grace the koala bear, who had been rescued by the centre after being run over by a car.
"She looks very well looked-after, I have to say," gushed Prince William. "Grace looks like she has a very nice life there."
During the call, Dana revealed to the pair that the koala population in the country has dropped from 60 to 80,000 to an estimated five to 10,000 since the bushfires earlier this year, adding that approximately 48 per cent of island was impacted by the fires.

‘The bushfires caused significant damage to residents’ homes, livelihoods, along with thousands of animals and their habitats.
