"Our People from 16th Regiment Emergency Support Force have used their rest periods while #OpBushfireAssist to lend a helping hand at the Cleland Wildlife Park, supporting our furry friends during feeding time and by building climbing mounts inside the park. A great morale boost for our hard working team in the Adelaide Hillsm" they wrote.
In the pictures, soldiers are seen cuddling the koalas -- swaddled in blankets -- at the Cleland Wildlife Park in Adelaide.

A post read, "This is so beautiful, you men and women are just incredible."
A user remarked, "I've just come back from a holiday in Adelaide. I was unlucky not to see any koalas in the wild but wonderful to see you doing a fab job with the wildlife. Thank you for helping to save them and maybe if I return in the future, they'll be abundant in the wild again."
