24 Jan, 2016: Enjoying Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

24 Jan, 2016: Enjoying Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary
Wanderoos, their two Brisbane based grandchildren and their parents, and Romeo and Juliet spent the day at Lone Pine. First we saw the "Birds of Prey" show:



Mouse underfoot..
Mouse in mouth


Open wide...
And now for the tail...


White-bellied Sea Eagle














Barn Owl

Then we watched the sheepdog mustering and shearing demonstrations: 

















Shearing the fleece in one piece
Now this might tickle a bit...



Then we wandered through the sanctuary's bushland for several hours...




So hard to capture a photo of the slippery platypus

The cranky Tasmanian Devil



The high-screeching curlew
Curious Dingo














Koalas everywhere















Black Cockatoo
Gang Gang Cockatoo














Princess Parrot
King Parrot














Bush Turkey

Bush Turkey baby


Emu - the flightless bird

Watch out Julia - he has his eye on you...














Julia has this kangaroo eating out of her hand
You're not leaving until I'm finished...
Hmm, are babies more tasty??
Neko the Brave












Its tiring work entertaining all these tourists











It must be good if Mum likes eating it...

The joey's not old enough to live outside the pouch yet
















Yep - a most satisfying immersion in Aussie Animalia...
