CRIKEY !!

Crikey Strewth !!
Just back from the Australian Zoo, woweeee!! Loads of photos, such a great experience, I can see how Steve Irwin was enthausiastic about his zoo and the crocs and the kangaroos and koalas. A bigger place than I thought it would be thats for sure, even got sunburnt, didn't realise it was going to be so much hotter here than it was down in Melbourne, had to endure the heat in jeans. But that was handy as I lay down beside a kangaroo for a photo, even stroked several of them, boy do they have stern faces.
Stroked my first koala too, neither animal has particularly soft fur which was a dissappointment, and koalas only seem to sleep and look tired. Couldn't believe how close up I could get

I got plopped on by a wild bird, and apparently thats supposedly lucky... yuk so...I better buy a lottery ticket !! saw lizards in natural habitat as we were walking on the paths, birds in the tree. Was there all day and had a thoroughly great time. Valerie or "Val" as she likes to be called and I seem to be getting on fine, believe it or not she likes to talk as much as I do :) I've texted uncle Ray a couple of times to let him know we have met up, but I haven't heard a word back.
Watch this space more photos to be added.... bye for now.... and don't worry bout me I'm having a GREAT TIME....and not even got to the Sydney part of the adventure yet!!
