Feeding the roos |
|
We enjoyed feeding the kangaroos at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
More food |
|
We did learn that we should feed the animals in the morning. By the afternoon, they are pretty full! |

Standing the the kangaroo area |
|
Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary had a nice area with kangaroos. You can buy food for them for only a little bit. |

Lazy day |
|
The kangaroos seem to enjoy sunning themselves. |
|

|
Not so lazy afternoon |
|
Sometimes the kangaroos will get up for you, but not always. |

Old kangaroo |
|
This was an extremely old kangaroo that could barely move around. I don't think it is an albino, just old. |

Check out the pouch! |
|
You can see the pouch pretty well on this roo. There is a joey inside. |

Wild Kangaroos |
|
Driving through Queensland, we saw a few kangaroos on the side of the road. You have to be careful though, they have the road sense of brick (much like deer in America). |

Here's looking at you! |
|
A koala that is actually awake. They sleep around 20 hours a day or more. |

Stretch! |
|
This little fellow is just waking up. This "tree" was in the lunch area so that you are always around koalas. |

Cindy and Diesel |

Cindy enjoyed holding Diesel, but she was a little nervous. |

Michael, Cindy and Diesel |

At Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, you can hold a koala and have your picture taken. |

The lunch area |

We enjoyed watching koalas sleep while we ate lunch. |

A baby koala |
|
This little guy walked across this branch and then walked back the way he came (tail end first). |

Across the branch |

Aren't baby koalas cute? |

The two varieties of koalas |
|
Here are the two types of koalas. The southern koala is browner (on top in the picture). Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary has one southern koala "on loan". |
