Koalas and 'roos!

I finally got to see Australian wildlife this past weekend! It was basically a mini zoo called the Lone Pine Sanctuary. There were typical barnyard animals like sheep, goats, chicks, guinea pigs and mini horses that were not very exciting at all. Then we went into a kangaroo petting area where there were around 30 of the hopping creatures that were gentle enough to pet. Next we explored the rest of the grounds and found tasmanian devils, wombats, bats, lizards, pythons, poisonous frogs, dingos and lastly koalas! There were mommy, daddy, baby and even retired koalas. I was able to get close enough to all of the animals to say that I enjoyed the experience. =) Next weekend we have a trip planned to Noosa which is an area full of beautiful beaches. I will find out what staying in a hostel feels like and going without plans of where to stay or anything of the sort. It should be an adventure.
