Whitney made a funny quip about the repercussions of catching an STD from the beloved species - and what her husband might think if she did.
'Listen, Justin is in Salt Lake City, so could you imagine if I come back with chlamydia from a koala?' she joked.
'I don't wanna go Down Under with a koala!' Teresa hilariously chimed in.
Whitney later posted a picture to Instagram of the pair posing with a koala at Billabong Zoo in Port Macquarie, however both maintained their distance in the snap.
During their chat, the Housewives also listed their evening itinerary while visiting Sydney, with plans to hit up some of the city's trendiest establishments in dramatic reality star fashion.
'I'm definitely going to take her to the Caterpillar Club,' she said, hinting that there may be some caviar tasting on the table.
'Caterpillar Club and Mimi's for sure we have to go to,' she told Daily Mail Australia.
Pitt Street's Caterpillar Club is an underground cocktail bar and music venue in the CBD, known for its impressive vinyl record collection and late-night ambience.
Meanwhile, Mimi's is an upscale eatery frequented by celebrities and looks over Coogee Beach.
The likes of Kourtney Kardashian and Margot Robbie have been spotted dining at the iconic spot, and now the restaurant may just add a couple of Housewives to the famous guest list too.
Teresa and Whitney are embarking on a tour around Australia, stopping at Port Macquarie, Penrith, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Gold Coast.
Alongside them is a slew of the RuPaul's Drag Race stars, including Laganja Estranja, Luxx Noir London and Ashley Madison.

Married At First Sight Australia producers 'struggling to find contestants' for new series
Married At First Sight Australia producers 'struggling to find contestants' for new series Married At First Sight Australia is reportedly struggling to find suitable singles to appear on the show, despite a new series due to begin filming soon Casting for the upcoming series of Married at First Sight Australia began months ago, yet producers appear to be encountering difficulties securing appropriate participants for the programme. Television industry sources have revealed that numerous positions remain unfilled on MAFS Australia, with some potential contestants withdrawing at the eleventh hour. "They're still scrambling for both brides and grooms," an insider revealed to Daily Mail Australia. "Honestly, they're desperate. There's a real sense of panic among the producers who know they have to deliver a standout cast to keep viewers hooked after this year's season was so controversial." Channel Nine's enhanced screening procedures have reportedly compounded the casting challenges. The network is said to be taking an uncompromising approach to comprehensive background investigations this series, reports the Mirror. Married at First Sight Australia experts John Aiken, Mel Schilling, and Alessandra Rampolla (Image: Channel 9 ) Article continues below Wales Online has contacted representatives for comment. An insider explained: "Channel Nine isn't messing around when it comes to background checks this year. They don't want anyone with a criminal record - not even someone who's faced court and been found not guilty. "It's about protecting the brand at all costs. But they're not playing it safe. They still want drama, chaos, headlines - they just don't want to give critics any more ammunition." These allegations emerge as production house EndemolShine Australia issued a casting appeal via Instagram recently. A message posted to the MAFS Instagram page stated: "Looking for love or know someone who is? DMs are OPEN." The twelfth series of Married at First Sight Australia first aired in January, before making its way to E4 in the UK. The programme features couples who tie the knot without having previously met each other. MAFS sees couples marry despite having never met one another (Image: Nine ) Before the show commences, experts pair up the single participants. Due to Australian legal stipulations, the couples do not legally marry on the show but instead participate in an informal commitment ceremony. On MAFS Australia, relationship advisors John Aiken and Mel Schilling, along with sexologist Alessandra Rampolla, serve as the experts. The couples meet for the first time at the altar, spend their wedding night in a hotel, and then embark on a honeymoon together. Upon their return, they cohabit and each week participate in a commitment ceremony where they can decide whether to continue or end their marriage. The series culminates in a final commitment ceremony, during which the couples must make a definitive decision about their marital future.

Chris Judd and Ben Cousins reunite at star-studded party in Perth
Ben Cousins and Chris Judd have reunited for a big party on a yacht on Cable Island in Western Australia. The Eagles icons, who guided West Coast to their first premiership in 12 years back in 2006, locked arms and beamed from ear to ear as they posed with family members and friends aboard the cruise ship. Judd's wife, Bec, took to Instagram to post several pictures of the party, with the model and TV presenter stunning in a turquoise gown. The group danced the night away aboard the boat as they soaked up the sunshine. Next year, the West Coast will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their epic premiership triumph, with both Judd and Cousins starring in their one-point victory against Sydney in the AFL Grand Final that year. The two Brownlow Medallists are known to be good friends and last September, Cousins was seen posing for snaps at a black-tie event with Judd's partner Bec at a black-tie event.

'@Instagram any chance of a blue tick for the Prince of Perth?!' The photos come after Cousins revealed he had been recovering following a recent stint in hospital. The midfield maestro, dubbed the 'Prince of Perth' was rushed to surgery on a hernia in June after being in excruciating pain. Cousins had said the pain was so bad that he was 'ready to pass out'. It came after the footy star had attended State of Origin II at the Optus Stadium. 'I'm a little tender actually. I went in for a hernia op on Friday — not much fun,' Cousins told Triple M. 'I had a little bubble or lump pop up where it probably shouldn't a couple of months ago, and I've been in denial. Judd's partner Bec (right) also stopped to pose for snaps with friends on the beach The group danced and sang as the sun set over the Western Australian coastline 'I hadn't gone in and had the ultrasound and I thought I'd put it off until the end of the footy season, I'd hang on for 12 more games — you'd swear I was still playing. 'But I went to the State of Origin on Wednesday night, it was a great game, got home, and then I went in to put my daughter to sleep, and I sat on her bed, and then out of nowhere, this pain came. 'I may have been in as much pain (before in my life), but I have never been in more. I was ready to pass out, all this sort of stuff, couldn't talk. 'I did go down (like) Autumn leaves.' He then revealed that he had taken himself to the hospital the following morning. Judd and Cousins would play alongside each other at the Eagles between 2002 and 2007. The pair both left the footy club for pastures new the year after their epic Grand Final triumph, with Judd going on to join Carlton, while Cousins signing for their Victoria rivals, Richmond.

MAFS stars Jamie Marinos and Eliot Donovan look more loved-up than ever during flirty date night in Sydney
Married At First Sight's Jamie Marinos and Eliot Donovan looked absolutely smitten as they stepped out for a romantic date night in Sydney on Wednesday. The lovebirds were spotted beaming as they strolled hand-in-hand through Newtown before dining at local favourite La Favola - Authentic Italian. At one point, Eliot, 35, even swept Jamie, 29, off her feet - quite literally - lifting her into his arms as the pair laughed and cuddled under the streetlights. Jamie turned heads in a statement shaggy chocolate brown faux-fur jacket, which she paired with relaxed-fit blue jeans and towering nude heels. She kept her glam natural, showing off her golden locks and glowing skin, and carried a chic olive-toned shoulder bag with a chunky chain strap. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Meanwhile, Eliot kept things effortlessly cool in a fitted black tee that showed off his sleeve tattoo, paired with black trousers and matching leather shoes. The casually handsome entrepreneur couldn't wipe the smile off his face as he gazed at Jamie throughout the night. The couple, who went public with their romance during the MAFS reunion special earlier this year, appeared totally relaxed and at ease with each other, laughing and chatting animatedly as they wandered through the busy Inner West strip. An onlooker told Daily Mail Australia the pair looked 'like they were in their own little world' and 'couldn't keep their hands off each other'. It's a full-circle moment for Jamie and Eliot, whose chemistry was evident the moment they were introduced on the show - even if sparks didn't immediately fly during the experiment. Since filming wrapped, the duo have continued to grow closer away from the cameras, with sources close to the pair revealing they've become 'inseparable' and are even talking about moving in together. Last month Jamie was forced to set the record straight after fans started speculating she might be pregnant. The popular bride sparked baby rumours after appearing in a gallery of snaps from Voir Vodka dinner at Bar Bambi in Melbourne, which she attended with Eliot and co-star Teejay Halkias. The images, shared by @mafsgossip, included a shot of Jamie posing with Eliot - who she has been romantically linked to in recent months - wearing a sleek all-black outfit which seemed to hint at a small bump. 'Is it me or does Jaime look like she's got a bump?' one fan commented, while another added, 'Just don't know if it's a baby bump or Photoshopped to look like it. But 100% it's a bump!' But Jamie wasted no time shutting down the speculation, jumping into the comments to address the chatter directly. 'I'm going to blame the lighting on that, because it does and I can assure you there's no bump,' she wrote, adding a laughing emoji. In another cheeky comment, the blonde beauty joked, 'Why am I excited now for a non-existent baby?' before confirming the 'countless' vodkas she consumed that night were proof enough she wasn't expecting. The MAFS star later doubled down, taking to her Instagram Stories to share the same photo and write: 'What in the optical illusion is this? I look like I have a baby bump.' She added: 'How funny would it be if at an event for an alcohol brand I announce a pregnancy, except it wouldn't be funny because I'd be pissed the f**k off that I'm sober.' Since the show wrapped in April, Jamie and Eliot have emerged as two of the most-followed cast members, regularly sparking dating rumours with their flirty comments, TikTok videos and joint appearances at events. Despite their undeniable chemistry, Jamie previously clarified their relationship during a Q&A with fans, insisting: 'We are really good friends. 'He's been such a great support system, always makes me laugh and I'm super grateful to have him around.' She added: 'We are both single, and focusing on ourselves at the moment – but who knows what the future holds.' Speaking to Daily Mail Australia, Jamie and Eliot echoed that sentiment, saying they've struck up an 'unlikely friendship' post-show and are simply 'taking each day as it comes'. The pair first sparked romance rumours after attending Daily Mail Australia's reunion party in April. 'Jamie is an absolute babe and I would be very lucky to be in a romantic relationship with her... but at this point in time, we are just close friends,' he told 9Entertainment. 'I'm not in any kind of position to be navigating a romantic relationship but I wouldn't rule anything out. I am absolutely loving going on this journey with Jamie by my side.' Eliot spoke highly of his relationship with Jamie and said their friendship had grown since meeting during filming last year.
