Today, a Bank Holiday, was to visit one of Melbourne Zoo's three sites - this one at Healsville was started as a refuge for injured wildlife but is now a large zoo. With us was litte Zoe, a 2 year old with attitude with whom no minute is boring. The flying display was not just of birds of prey but parrots as well, all trained to fly low over the audience. I saw all the main animals of this country - Koalas, Kangaroos, Wallabies, Tasmanian Devil, Dingo. But didn't see an Echidna, spiny anteater. But we saw on the drive back. My favourite, the Wombat
Obiously an ancestor of the Labrador.
Amazing how a tired tot can be reawakened by a visit to a chocolate factory which also makes ice cream. There must have been 500 cars in the car park and they kept coming.
Sadness for me was saying goodbye to Marini, Andrew and Zoe (supertot) as my visit ends. They were instant friends when we remet after a gap of around 9 years and we've met several times this visit. I will truly miss all of them.
