Featherdale Wildlife Park

Thursday 11th August. 

After a couple of days of chilling and visiting we went off to spend the day at the Featherdale Wildlife Park near Sydney. I wanted to see lots of Australian animals and looked forward to photographing them.

                                                                      G'day possums!
    Actually I got this wrong. These are wombats. Saw a possum back at L & K's climbing on their verandah!

'Sulphur-crested Cockatoo. These are the noisy birds that wake us up in the mornings!

The weather was good and so all the animals and birds were out and about 'posing' for photographs. I'm sure they were posing as they sat still when people were clicking away!

Galah

 Alf Stuart off 'Home and Away' likes to call people a galah and that's what one looks like!

Two things I'd promised myself I would do while in Australia was to stroke a kangaroo and cuddle a koala.



Wallabies



Well I got to feed and stroke kangaroos and wallabies but I only got to stroke a koala. Aaah! We queued up to stroke this sleepy koala and have piccies taken. The keeper was on hand to keep an eye on things.

Linda and Kevin had packed up a picnic and so we sat at the picnic table (all posh with table cloth) and enjoyed our lunch surrounded by animals and birds.



 

Picnic time! Violet,Linda and Kevin
