Koalas, Wombats, and Kangaroos...oh my!

G'day ya'll
Yesterday we ventured off to see some Aussie animals (post eating our 2nd meat pies of trip). Little did we know, it'd be a bit more exciting than merely looking at them. We got to hold a Koala named Fitzroy and watch kangaroos go at it...more than once. It was a live version of Animal Planet and quite entertaining. We poked fun at koalas getting high on eucalyptus and caught a laughing kookaburra giggling at us...silly Americans. Quite a successful first adventure in Oz. We now feel right at home.

Correction: The day we arrived was the first day of rain in over 595 days- the drought has limited us to 4 minute showers and team work when brushing our teeth and washing our faces to minimize water waste. You should all try it too...makes you feel good about doing your part for the environment.
