We all got up around 10am, had some breakfast, and then headed for Cohunu, a small wildlife park with Koalas, Kangaroos and Emu. The park had small trails which ran through a wooded area, with sections for each type of animal. The first thing we saw was a mother koala with a 3 month old baby. I got to feed them and pet them.

The little one was so cute.

The emu are very similar to ostriches, only slightly smaller. They have an ugly face, and aren't afraid to approach for some puffed rice (the approved feeding material). We generally stayed away from them.

The Kangaroo area was pretty large, with a few dozen kangaroos wandering about. We were able to just walk up to them and feed them or pet them.

Note the joey in the pouch.

Many of them were lounging or sleeping. Apparently they become more active later in the afternoon. They were very friendly and didn't mind us being up close. When they want to move quickly, their hopping covers long distances amazingly fast.

This is a collection of different animals that we saw.

Apparently Koala spend much of their time doped up on eucalyptus oil.

There was an area with talking parrots. It's great to hear a parrot say "Hello Darling" in an Australian accent as you walk up to them.

Ask JP about the "Killer Deer" sometime.

We each tried feeding the kangaroos.
