Kangaroos, wombats, wallabies, koalas, dingoes, emus, platypus....are there other Australian only animals left to see? We went to the Healesville sanctuary today. It was an absolutely beautiful drive for about 40km to get there from our house. I always imagined Australia to be all outback and desert, but this area of the country was luscious and green, with rolling hills and vineyards. The road was winding through the hills and valleys. It was quite different than I expected, but just stunning.
The sanctuary was fun. Bennett enjoyed the wombat and the snakes and lizards the best. The pelicans let us get right up close and we got to pet one of the wallabies. I'm sure it must be different seeing the animals in the wild, but it was still pretty cool. It would have been nice to see the kangaroos hopping around though.
Bennett seems to have come down with a cold unfortunately. He fell asleep on the way home from the zoo and went back to sleep when we got home.
