Aussie critter show

Sunday 10th Sept

A more leisurely start (apart from walking the dogs!) before a drive through more lush forest and rounded hills of the Yarra Valley and on to Healesville Sanctuary. This is one of those all-Australian animal places, but one of the better ones, with a more natural setting and a wide range of crazy things.

So, here is the animal bit you’ve all been waiting for…

Think you all know what these are:



This is a blue-tongued lizard who didn't want to poke his tongue out.



To the right is an Echidna with his pointy nose





The wombat having a kip




And finally the lyrebird which, apart from having an extravagent tail, can imitate other birds or even other sounds it hears like chainsaws and mobile phones!
