Great Aussie stand-off between koala and kangaroo at North Stradbroke Island

Kangaroo v koala.

In possibly one of the most Australian scene ever, a kangaroo and a koala have been filmed in a tense stand-off in Queensland.

The video posted by 7NEWS, shows a kangaroo chasing a koala as it crawls on the ground and then appearing to pounce.

"Oh my God, they're having a fight. The kangaroo's trying to hurt the koala!" a woman can be overheard saying in the footage.
