Marsupial Fun

Today we visited the Marapana Wildlife Park near Rockingham where we are staying south of Perth, Australia.


Cai loved feeding the animals - a deer (above) and then he got a chance to pat a baby kangaroo (called a joey) in it's mother's pouch - below


Since the friends we are staying with know the owners of the park we got special treatment to visit the koala bears and to get up close to them

Above - a baby holding on to its mother and chewing on a eucalyptus leaf; below - an adult in a typical position in a tree


Above - Cai got to feed the adult; below Jenny holding one of the adults - a female called Crystal who is very cuddly
