On Monday, after being thwarted by the weather, instead of going to the Carrumbin animal sanctuary, we made a bee line for the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. So far, easily the highlight of Australia for me! They opened at 9 and we were there by 930. They are one of the top rated "zoos" here (so their website claims). I could believe it.

Emus!

Just running around... That's as close as we got. In the same enclosure as the kangaroos. These are not marsupials, in case you were wondering haha

Im in ur bowl

eatin ur food. Heh.

Jurrasic cassuary

This guy was eating the purple jacaranda flowers (GORGEOUS tree which is actually a transplant from our side of the world)

Holy loud

These were the insanely loud "cockatoos" down at Yamba. They live in the wild here too

Kookaburra

Another thing I'd heard of but couldn't have pointed out

Fierce aggressive dingos

They're like regular dogs!

A species divided

Interesting... Some debate exists, but only one species

Dingo

Main difference I could see between it and a dog was the tail. You're not allowed to keep them as pets (like wolves) but there's been a lot of interbreeding (like wolves)

They take them for daily walks

Remembrance Day

Selling (giving out?) red poppies

South Bank Parklands

Holy hell incredible. And apparently has life guards all year round! Safest way to swim in Australia

South Bank

We spent the afternoon in the shade under the tree on the opposite bank. Great day!

South Bank

Just beautiful. And clean. And perfect weather. And free.

Eat Street Eats

The market! All had a very European feel. Each ethnic place was legit ethnic food with legit ethnic people. You can see Rachel buying the cat food dumplings here

Nom taters

Actually one tater. This is a somewhat local thing. They were selling them at south bank too.
