Koala park

It was mostly rainy this Labour long weekend. On Monday, we were all restless and needed to get out of the house. It was clear and a little sunshine came out in the morning, we decided to go to the Koala park (Lara says "kolala park").
Our first stop was to see emus, peacocks and sheeps, just as a shearing show was about to start. After that, we walked to the Kangaroo feeding enclosure, passing some enormous animals made of concrete. Lara liked the fake animals but was a little apprehensive about the real ones. We didn't have any food to feed them, but the kangaroos were very friendly and came to say hi, one even opened up Simon's hand to check if there was food in it!
We walked around and saw a cassowary (bad tempered bird), a wombat, koalas, cockatooes, dingoes, and chicknes. It started to rain, luckily it was not heavy. Lara was very interested in all the puddles, she had raincoat and rainboots on so we let her explpore as she wish. We went back at the advertised time to 'pat' the koalas. Lara only got 'one small pat' as there were quite a lot of people there. Th park is not huge, and a little run-down. But I heard it was one of the few places you can pat kangaroos and koalas these days. We all enjoyed this short, relaxing outing.
