Yes, koalas do leave their tree. If they do it is because they are going to another tree. Koalas do not usually drink water.

Further information:

Koalas regularly leave their trees. They have a number of trees in their home range, which may overlap with other koalas' trees, and their home range may cover up to a square kilometre in area. Koalas move between these trees, and when they are on the ground is when they are at their most vulnerable to being hit by cars or killed by dogs.

Yes, koalas do leave their trees, as they do not live in a single tree.

Koalas have a range of trees within a radius of up to a couple of kilometres, which are their "home trees". They regularly move from tree to tree along the ground, seeking a new flavour of tree or just to reinstate which trees are in their territory. This is when they are at their most vulnerable from dogs and cars.
