Of Kangaroos and Koalas

We visited Lone Pine Sanctuary one Saturday morning. The morning started off with Alex and I waiting for the bus on the wrong platform. But, after 30minutes of deliberation and wonder, we were able to figure the problem out, with a simple solution that allowed us to get the bus as soon as it appeared. Just in time! We travelled to the Sanctuary, were we visited Koala - they are lazy, cute, fluffy animals that spend the whole day sleeping, and eat eucalyptus leaves. We saw the kangas' and the little roos, who were chillin' under the shed and wondering why these homo sapiens could not get over how cute they were...not really! The kangaroos were many, and just when I thought I will never see one skip, hop and jump, a tribe of them started doing so, and it was an awesome sight. This was followed by a visit to the crocs (crocodiles) which also seemed to be spending lazy days by the ponds - locked in off course. We also saw many types of birds, including the Emu, a big bird that walks by past people and does not seem to mind them. I was a little scared, but realized that they would not do anything to you, unless maybe aggravated. We also had the opportunity to take pictures with koalas and snakes etc, though I would choose a koala any day.

  2. Koalas are so cute, but yes, certainly lazy and that would be a great pet, always asleep and not bothering you.
