    Great series, thaks for sharing.

    I thought kangaroos were a bit on the nasty side? The Tasmnian Devil isn't living up to his name. I'm not sure I would consider a 6' reptile harmless. Hats around birds is always a good idea. You feed eels?

    Andy lies! He can't sleep anywhere. You want proof? Nobody, and I mean nobody has a photo of Andy sleeping in a Rib joint!

    Took a heap of kids to a wildlife sanctuary today ..as i do each year. Food has got better i must say so.

    Feeding the raibow lorikeets. These birds are almost our most common bird here...millions of them every where...the noise is deafening ! They are eating sugary water.

    I actually had to wind down the saturation on a few shots. they are just too bright in the sun. They do like to sit on your head but make sure you have a hat on as they crap everywhere.

    waiting...waiting...waiting
    Tasmanian Devil doing what Tasmanian Devils do...man i bet that feels nice.
    Feeding the eels
    Lots of dead roo's. Seriously you'd think they would pick the dead ones up before the crowds arrive.
    My daughter feeding the boss male.
    Nothing to do all day but sleep in the sun & let tourists feed & scratch you.
    Ive been that drunk too.
    Black Breasted Buzzard..one of only 2 birds in the world that pick up rocks & drop on eggs to break them...i caught the egg smash but not the throw.
    Barking owl
    Wedge Tailed Eagle
    Echidna (spiney ant-eater or as we call them...mobile road spikes)
    Carpet snake or 2
    Freshwater Crocadile (only grows to about 6 feet & is considered harmless)
    Taipan..a rather nasty way to go if you get bitten
    Tree kangaroo thus he is in a tree
    Thats it...im finished

    Wow Gus....... you got much better weather up there to be going to the Zoo than we have down here in Victoria.

    I'd love to go to a Wild Life Park up your way, and I'd really like to go see Steve Irwins Park too....... great series.

    My nephew always could never say Tasmania Devil but he was close he called them MainianDebils rolleyes1.gif thanks for sharing....... Skippy :D

    G'day sam. The roo's are all so used to people here that they are just totally over it. They are only interested in some food. Eeels are for eating i recon..not feeding. The fresh water crocs are really only fish eaters...its the saltwater ones that you have to be aware of when camping or near the waters edge. Here is a replica of the largest ever caught here...back in the 50's. A poor 8 year old girl taken just yesterday by one. They get a lot of tourists as the tourists dont head the warnings & walk down to the waters edge.

    Holy bat poop Batman!!! That thing could eat a VW bus!

    If your like The American government they are on the endangered species list, while little girls arn't. ne_nau.gif
