An amusing video has emerged of a koala walking casually down a street in Victoria, Australia.

The footage, captured by a passer-by on Monday, shows the animal taking a stroll down a pavement in the city of Portland and stopping for a photo opportunity.

Writing online about the unusual sighting, the filmer said "The koala just casually strolled down a street in Portland among pedestrians, sat down on the footpath while a young boy took its photo then continued on its way. It caused quite a stir but was very cute."

“[Afterwards] he waddled down the street, crossed the road with some people and climbed up a tree on the foreshore - it caused a lot of laughs.”
