A GoFundMe page raising funds to support koalas affected by the Australian bushfires is said to close down by the end of this week.

Port Macquarie Koala Hospital in NSW launched a fundraising page on October 31 which as of Thursday had tremendously exceeded its $25,000 target, with over $1 million of donations recorded on its page.

Koala Conservation Australia president Sue Ashton said the GoFundMe account had been established to raise money for koala drinking stations, and extra funds will now go towards launching the countrys first wild koala breeding program through a second GoFundMe page .

Were closing the original GoFundMe site tomorrow because weve more than exceeded our target and we dont want to be greedy, Ashton told HuffPost Australia on Thursday.
