Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 18, 2016 Author #1051 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Up as close as you like.... Right outside the entrance / exit to the enclosure there are hand washing facilities. A lady had put her bag of animal food down and this fella ran by me with it in his mouth.....

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 18, 2016 Author #1052 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) I have many, many koala pics. Finding one awake was a bonus. Is this for me? Edited March 18, 2016 by NorbertsNiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 18, 2016 Author #1053 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) All curled up fast asleep I failed miserably at getting a pic of the cute swimmer. Really really incredibly bad pics. They looked like this. Edited March 18, 2016 by NorbertsNiece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 18, 2016 Author #1054 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I thought this dingo was playing with a ball on a wire..... I was later informed it's a rabbit.... These sleeping koalas have had their cover removed to wake them up...... they are only allowed 30 minutes a day photograph posing so a rota is set up. Heading back to the city on the Mirimar. The Citycat water taxi can only go so far upstream and doesn't get up as far as Lone Pine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare NorbertsNiece Posted March 18, 2016 Author #1057 Share Posted March 18, 2016 There vessel that had been berthed in front of us has been replace by this vehicle transporter that is unloading This is the first time I've seen this and I always use the stairs up from 2 to 3 when coming back...... Sorry about the light..... it's a Damien Hirst and what caught my attention initially was the thought that it reminded me of that spin art thing my children had where you dropped paint on a rotating card....

Response : "No madam regrettably we don't but we can give your postcards to our port agent to post." Me : "So I can bring my postcards to you to post for me?" "Yes madam". "But how much is that?" "Nothing madam. The postcard must have a stamp on it." There's a hole in my bucket...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
