Queensland, Part 4:

Monday afternoon we were set to fly back to Melbourne, but before we left, we stopped at the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary to play with Aussie animals!

First I visited some koalas.

Then some cool bird that likes to stand on one foot.

Next, I made friends with the local statues.

Then I went to play with kangaroos, wallabies, and emus.

I can't really tell the difference between smaller/baby kangaroos and wallabies. But maybe this is a wallaby, only because it's pregnant! Look at the pouch! It's harder to tell in this pic, but there were babies squirming in there. It was too cool.

I think a wallaby, looking up to say hello

Hanging with the emus

They better be careful that kangaroo doesn't steal their baby

Next we went to visit the crocs. Here are some freshwater ones hiding beneath the muddy waters.

Then we went to visit the salt water ones - the really scary one. I was making friends with a salt water croc up above, by the way. But yeah. I don't think this picture does him justice. He was HUGE.

Here's a cute lizard or reptile of some sort who was scurrying around.

Next I found even more koalas! Here's one sleeping in a tree....with a baby!!

And here's another one, who woke up just for me. He was the only one.

Then I had a bit of a run in with an Aussie python, but don't worry, I was okay.

Last were the dingoes...but they were hiding and I couldn't get a very good picture. So I also took a picture of a nearby sign, because I found it quite interesting.

Finally, we shall end Queensland with a picture of a jacaranda tree. They were all over Queensland and I loved there. They dropped a carpet of purple petals everywhere. It was beautiful.
