    Australian Animals

    As promised to Anna and Robin, here are some pics of some of the Australian Animals at the Healesville Sanctuary here in Australia.

    Red Kangaroo


    Koalas - doing what they do best - sleeping


    .... Galahs - YES, just like my precious Jo ...


    Album is HERE

    Enjoy!

    Looks a great place. I'd love to be able to see live koalas. Such cuddly looking things.

    I'm still not convinced that the white thing is a penguin!

    We have a large number of koalas around where we live and I can assure you that they are not cute and cuddly, not the wild ones anyway! One of the almost resident koalas in the trees nearby makes the most disgusting grunting noises all night, kind of reminds me of someone else!

    Just had a look, that's the weirdest penguin I have ever seen (even for an Australian bird)!!!

    Lovely photos Michelle . We are hopefully going to the Australia/ian Zoo (The Steve Irwin Zoo ) when we are up in Queensland in 6 weeks time. I have not been to Healsville yet, but hopefully we will get there one day.

    When Tinny went missing out at Daylesford we came across quite a few Kangaroo's and Koala's when treking through the bush looking for her. One big Roo spent a good 10 minutes watching us, probably wondering why us crazy hoomans were out so early in the bush .

    Trev we are trying to con them into letting us put on a few Flyball demo's there, even if it is out in the carpark .

    Those were fabulous! Koala's are my favorites!

    LOL! I was looking through your pictures trying to find the penguin (he he maybe I'm blond)

    I'm so glad you posted these (sorry it took me so long to see them).
