Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Tourism continued today as we headed into town to the South Bank to catch a boat up the river for a day trip to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.

Unfortunately the timing was a little bit off, ie we were late and we aborted the car park and drove up there directly.

We saw some sheep dog trial demonstration, where Eloise got up close and personal with the sheep and the other spectators, then met some wallabies (as you can see from the photo she got up close and personal with them as well). We saw cassowaries, crocodiles, stroked a snake, ogled a wombat, saw a demonstration of birds of prey, and of course fondled a koala (though we drew the line at cuddling one).

Nicole hates koalas and expected to hate this trip, but actually had a really good time. Sarah enjoyed it too, she said.

We were there for about four hours, by the end of which Squeaky was well and truly into Fatigue Crisis and having cadenzas left right and centre.

At that point we beat a strategic retreat.
