Today we did a very full day trip to Phillip Island. Google 'Phillip Island penguin parade' for all the information you'd ever want to know about the Little Penguins. We were picked up at the hostel at 1045 am, and got back at about midnight. It was a beautiful day! On the way to Phillip Island, we stopped at Maru Koala & animal park and saw/fed/pet kangaroos & wallabies.
Drew was very happy to get a picture of this albino (pronounced 'al-BEE-no' if you're Aussie) yawning!
The kangaroos are pretty little, and very friendly when you have a palm full of 'roo treats!
A koala at the height of activity. They sleep for 16 - 20 hours a day. Their selective diet of only certain eucalyptus leaves doesn't provide them with a very high energy level.
There are two Tasmanian Devils in here. They are only found in the wild on Tasmania. The are becoming endangered in the wild, as they suffer from some sort of fatal malignant facial tumour.
Another active little koala. See, his eyes are actually open!
