Aug. 14 (UPI) -- A traveler on a busy Queensland, Australia, road captured video of the moment an 82-year-old man rescued -- and subsequently scolded -- a koala that wandered into the middle of the roadway.

The video, recorded by witness Tracey Drescher on Beaudesert-Beenleigh Road in Beenleigh, northwest of the Gold Coast, shows a man later identified as an 82-year-old named Terry, walking through stopped traffic.

Terry picks up a koala stranded between the vehicles and a barrier wall, and carries it to the side of the road.

The footage shows Terry set the koala down, and then bend over and point his finger as if to give the marsupial a stern talking-to.

"You tell him, grandpa," a woman's voice says in the video.

People really underestimate the power of just telling someone you like them. romantically obviously but hell even just platonically too. You can admit you enjoy peoples presence it doesn’t have to be mind games it’s okay to just be sincere and true with your thoughts and intentions btw

Die Hard being considered part of the canon of "Christmas movies" simply because the events of the film take place near Christmas is a classic, but for my money the funniest example of this particular phenomenon is Beethoven's Last Night, a rock opera concept album about a conversation between Ludwig van Beethoven and the Devil, consistently being filed under Christmas music purely on the strength that the artists who made it also did that one heavy metal arrangement of "Carol of the Bells" you keep hearing everywhere.
