Yesterday was the reason we travelled here: Grandma Kood's 90th birthday! (And happy birthday to Nate back in Minnesota, too!)
We celebrated by going to our last zoo, dedicated specifically to Australian animals. This was a smaller zoo, much less busy than the other zoos we've visited, called Healsville Sanctuary. The enclosures here were great - the animals very obviously well cared for. We had a "koala encounter" here, getting close up to a napping koala who even opened his eyes and moved for us! We saw platypuses, emus, wombats, kangaroos, cassowaries and lots more.
After that we went to the biggest and nicest buffet I've ever been at! We had Indian food, sushi, local meats and cheeses, turkey and ham and a wonderfully obscene quantity of desserts...and all came home so full that we promptly fell asleep.
