New Old Australian Video: Animals

The other day Florence reminded me of ‘drop-bears’, which in turn reminded me of an almost-promise I made over three years ago. It’s funny how the mind works, isn’t it?

So today I keep that promise in spades, with two blog entries consisting of video recorded on two different Australian trips dating in 2000 and 2008. The video from 2000 is quite crude, recorded as it was on an early digital camera that had a maximum video time of 15 seconds!

In this post I’ll put the animal videos. In the other I’ll put the other stuff, including two that short the unusual hair style I sported in January, 2000 🙂

Here’s the running Koala video, which was recorded at Blackbutt reserve. I believe this (January 12 2008) was before the storm that heavily damaged the bird and koala exhibit.

Here is a video recorded the same day of myself failing to feed a curious kangaroo. I like how I start insulting at as my efforts continue to fail! (And who calls kangaroo’s “kanga” anyway?!?)

Some stick insects at Australian Wildlife World at Darling Harbour:

Here’s Cheeky the wombat, at Gosford reptile park (this is from 2000):

And lastly (for this post), Lucky the cat at his filthiest. Prior to this he was no doubt digging around in the garden:
