Lone Pine Santuary
Today Jenica and I ventured off across the city to the Koala reserve and Santuary. They are actively involved in conservation and rehabilitation of a number of native Australian animals – particularly the koalas. I got to hold and play with a Diamond back snake, a koala named “Cat” and a young salt-water crocodile. Did you know that the saltwater crocodile can live up to 50 years, grow to 5 metres in length and weigh up to a ton and a half! I am glad that this one was a baby. Afterwards we went downtown and got supper.
Every Last Thursday of the month they have Games Night in King George Square. Lots of tables set out with board games and a number of large versions as well of chess, checkers, Battleship, Jenga and scrabble.
Jenica challenged me to a game of Brain Master and we had fun – and tied.
Home to check out today’s pictures and then to bed.
