Friday, July 22nd

We
decided to visit Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
about 40 south of Brisbane.
|
|
 Here
we could get up close and personal
with both koalas and kangaroos!
|
 These two
were having an argument about
who was going to sleep on this branch!
|
|
 Then
we got to hold a koala ourselves!
|
 |
|
 |

Then we
went to see the snake lady!
|
|
 And
much to our surprise we saw Kim Campbell,
Canadian midwife, holding a snake herself!
|

Debbie
and I fed the kangaroos
with bags of kangaroo feed.
|
|

They had
very gentle mouths as they nibbled
on the food and were surprisingly shy.
|

Now HERE
was a big one...
|
|

He was
quite happy to just lie
there on the ground for us.
|
 Leave it to the midwives to seek
out the babies.
This is a Wallaby.
|
|
 If you look closely, you will see
her baby
peeking out of her pouch!
|
 These are
lorikeets.
|
|
 Absolutely beautiful birds!
