Up close and personal with the OZ animals

7 October 2008

At last. after months of imagining, we finally get a close look at the famous animals of Australia: koalas, kangaroos, wombats, kookaburras and lots more. It's sad though that nini bini didn't come along.. Perhaps she's concerned about her knee pain since we had to do lots of walking at the Lone Pine Sanctuary. Next time though, we'll make sure nini bini comes along!

For now, enjoy these pictures:


We visited the Lone Pine Sanctuary, about 20 minutes drive from home


At last! Seeing kangaroos for real... and touching them too!


Meet Damien, a 7 year old koala.. the fur is thick and soft, no wonder they are cuddly!


Wombat (top) and kookaburra (above).. bird famous for making funny sounds echoing human laughter


Hehehe... Having a lunch 'picnic' in the car... Nice!
