Sunday, 13th December 2009 - Koala's and Croc's


So we woke up early and went for a leisurely drive and had a gorgeous breakfast down by the sea. We then headed back to the hostel and went on a guided tour of the koala sanctuary.

We got to pet and hold some birds. Which were frankly just nasty. I saw them take a couple of chunks of flesh out of a few people. Burger gave one of the birds a massage. LOL.

We all got hold a little croc or alligator. I cannot remember which it was. It was really cute. We saw some other croc/alligators pretty close up but they were big beasts and I was thankful for the fence between us.

Then there was some reptiles. Blue Tongue Lizard, which was really cute. Freakly though, if it was being attacked it would cut off blood supple to tail and it drops off after a couple of seconds. I think I am going to have to YouTube that.

Then we got to what we had all paid for and waited for, the Koala holding. I was at front of the queue as soon as I heard that later you are the more chance of him poo-ing on you there is. I was not in the mood for that, thank you.

Anyway, it was great, we had to keep really still but we all got a hold and no one dropped him. He did smell a bit but we will let him off. We all agreed it was well worth the $40.

Urrghhh, then we went to see the snakes. Emma and Katy had a hold but I would rather eat my own lg than hold one of those things. No thank you.
