Kangaroos, dingoes, wombats, oh my!

Me and another Roo!

On Sunday (belated post due to lack of Internet access for a few days) we went to the animal sanctuary just outside of the city. It was absolutely amazing!  You could walk amongst the Roos in a large field as they lounged around and ate. 





Dingoe--so cute!


They were adorable and incredibly tame and comfortable around people. You can pet and feed them and they will walk right up to you. They have a very interesting walk--not what I was expecting--and are fast when they hop!

We also saw cuddly koalas and had the opportunity to hold one! It was like holding a stuffed animal- cute, small, and soft. This particular sanctuary had over 100 koalas on site, so we had several chances to see them in action. We also saw dingoes (so cute), wombats, and flying foxes (aka, adorable, fuzzy bats).
