Day 2–Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary


Took a boat trip out to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary 
 
                                                          Where we got to hold a koala!

                                                               
                                                                And pet an emu!
And feed a kangaroo!
And we got to see a cassowary up close

The koalas were adorable

The echidna was hiding but here is her nest



                                      And here are 2 we found wandering in the gift shop 😜

                            And while I have videos of platypuses (which swim really fast!!)
                                       This was the only still we could get
