We kick started the day with a trip to Woolworths to sort ourselves out with a budget breakfast/ lunch for later. This shopping trip went well although, due to the seemingly never ending rain, we decided to purchase a $10 umbrella each :(
Next, we found and got on the bus that would take us the 12km, which Corrie originally wanted to walk, to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary (the world’s 1st and largest koala sanctuary.) Before we went in we decided to have our brunch which was top notch, and surprisingly filling for the $5 it cost us for: half a melon each and a tuna roll each. Danny was content as he got to use the Leatherman (multi-tool thing) Corrie had got him for Christmas to carve up the Melon!
The koala place was great too as well as being fairly quiet due to all the rain. This allowed us both to easily have our pictures taken holding a koala (Tinkerbell!)
We also bought lunch for the kangaroos and went off into their huge enclosure to feed them, whilst getting some good close-up shots of them and the wallabies. There was a lot to see here such as: 100’s of koalas, lots of grey roos, wallabies, dingoes, wombats, Tasmanian devils, kookaburras, a golden possum, an inland taipan (world’s most venomous land snake), a brown snake (2nd most venomous land snake), and various lizards and birds etc etc!
We decided that, as we’d spent so much on the koalas today we’d best have a budget tea also. This time it was chicken, ham, salad and crisp sandwiches instead of the tuna! We also have enough leftovers for brunch tomorrow which we’ll be enjoying on/ after the bus trip. Danny hopes this means we can eat out tomorrow night!
