Let’s cut right to the chase:
Yep, that’s me and a wombat. It’s a nine month old female, who was placid and soft and loved to be hugged right under her arms. It was awesomely cute 🙂
Today I visited the above with Sue and her two kids. It’s an animal park about an hour south of Newcastle featuring a good collection of Australian animals.
Going to the shows alone would fill your day. We saw several: venomous snakes, alligator feeding, dingo feeding, croc feeding, Tasmanian devil feeding.
There were many opportunities for animal photos, including snakes, alligators, wombats, koalas and devils. In addition, free roaming animals included emus, geese, ducks and…
Beautiful beasts they are. There were two types there, Eastern Grays and Kangaroo Island Kangaroos. As I said to Sue, how many other animals can you think of with the same word in its name twice?
Inside a reptile house was the above statue. It periodically breathed smoke and spoke what sounded like the language of Mordor. As a child, I would have loved it. As an adult… well I loved it still 🙂
Much fun was had by all; adults and kids alike. Especially the old guy that hugged a wombat 🙂
I want a copy of the picture of you hugging the wombat.
