Kangaroo Country/Kengurumaata


Picture of the sign was found here.

Today's adventure was a beautiful drive from Adelaide to Victor Harbor through Adelaide Hills. It was very exotic to see Kangaroo-signs along the road, but as much as I tried to look for kangaroos, I had no luck.

Fortunately the first stop was Gorge Wildlife Park where I got to hang out with kangaroos, hold a koala, and admire fruit bats, dingos, Tasmanian devils, wombats, echidnas, and other strange creatures. Make sure to click on the collage below to see some of these animals.

And this sweet creature is Poppy, she is about five years old, very cute, soft and a very patient little gal munching on some eucalyptus.

***************

Tämän päivän seikkailu oli ajelu Adelaidesta Victor Harboriin, Adelaiden kukkuloiden kautta. Siellä pysähdyimme eläintarhassa, jossa sai vapaasti kävellä kenguroiden seassa, syöttää heille keksejä tai pähkinöitä, ja jopa pitää 5-vuotiasta Poppy-koalaa sylissä. Eläintarha oli upea kokemus, kuin myös ajelu etelä-Australian kauniilla maaseudulla. Ihana päivä!!

PS. Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää 93. vuotiaalle Suomelle!
