Drop bears are real. They are an endangered species, and almost impossible to spot; most people spot them just as they die, so it's hard to track and record Drop-bear activity. The ASIO actually released a report on them on the 23 of May in 2002, but they removed the publication from the website soon after.
You don't have to be worried about them though. Drop bears hate changes, thus they seem to move away from urban areas as more forest is cleared for development. A large number of Drop-bears live in the Murray-Darling basin. As a result of careless tourists, immigrants and other Australians, there have been stories of small and aggressive Drop-bear migrations from the cities to the country.
I have limited experiences with Drop-bears myself. In January 2001, my family and several friends camped near Cobram, in the Barooga forest on the Murray there. All night the koalas sang, but there were a couple of times when they went dead-quiet and a chorus of retching grunts sounded out. It sounded like wild hog crossed with a freight-train horn. well, we were ok - of course we dapped a little tooth-paste behind the ears and spread some Vegemite around the camp before we hit the sack.
But KrisKnox, you should come to Australia - NZ is more dangerous anyway.
