D73 -- Wallaby yoga

Well, the Chapel Hill Hostel was cheap if not quiet. We both slept horribly and had really weird dreams.

We've enjoyed seeing wildlife so much that we decided to go to Healesville sanctuary today. We saw lots of the animals we'd seen in the wild already, including kangaroos, wallabies, and koalas. One wallaby appeared to be practicing yoga. These sanctuary animals are so hip!



We also got to see:

dingoes...wild dogs that howl instead of bark

Tasmanian devils...don't look like the cartoon

echidnas...egg-laying mammals;look like porcupines

wombats...furry pig-shaped marsupials; we got to pet one! Cute!

The sanctuary was nice, but I definitely prefer seeing animals in the wild.

On our way out Thomas asked the lady at the ticket counter for directions. She had a bunch of little blocks of cheese on the counter that a friend had brought her and when we asked about them she gave us one. People here are so nice. Can't wait to try the cheese!
