No pictures this week. Sorry to my adoring fans reading the blog. You'll just have to use your imagination this week. ;)
Went to the Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary today and saw "heaps" of Australian animals: super venomous snakes, sleeping wombats, sleeping flying foxes (huge bats that my Driffill students have read about!!!), sleeping koalas...ok, these animals are sleeping because they are nocturnal mostly. The koalas sleep a ton, like yours truly. I felt a kinship with them. :) Also saw some kangaroos trying to mate (I use the word "trying" because the male was most likely fixed). Was surprised at how tiny the platypus was (just about a foot or a foot and a half, really). I got to pet another kangaroo today! Not one of the mating ones of course. I think I would have been kicked in the chest if I tried to get in the middle of that! Pet an emu, but was very jerky as I thought it was going to peck at me. They have this prehistoric quality about them that makes me uneasy. ;)
I hope to get some pictures up this weekend, maybe next week though. Until then...keep reading! :)
