The highlight for all of us, I think it's safe to say, was petting and hugging the koala at the Koala Sanctuary. We all could not stop gazing, admiring, cooing, oohing and ahhing at these little guys. Apparently they are nocturnal, eat eucalyptus leaves all night, which are intoxicating, and then sleep it all off during the day. Somehow the keepers get them up during the day, though, to come cuddle with random tourists like us! I can't say enough about how enraptured we were, and I could never ever tire of these little ones.
The kangaroos are a bit less enchanting. Seeing them up close, laying around, scratching at the dirt, hopping slowly here or there, batting at a fly, somehow didn't hold the magic of the little koalas. Sorry roos!
p.s. Dingoes are totally cool!
