The weather was gorgeous today - clear skies and cool temperatures so we decided to head to Healesville Sanctuary to meet the Aussie Folks!

Lil' Angel trying on her over-sized sunnies...

On the way to the Sanctuary, we passed by the vineyards...

Sheep, cows and horses gazing the grass...

We finally arrived after more than an hour's drive...

Where's the GIANT eagle?

Admission fees to the Sanctuary...expensive!

Map of the Sanctuary...

Some of the animals that we can see in the Sanctuary...

We headed to the Birds of Prey area first as the Bird Show was about to start...

On the way, we passed by two baby dingoes going for their walk with the keepers...

The Mommy & Daddy dingoes howling for their lil' ones!

Lil' Angel reading the brochure while waiting for the Bird Show to begin...

I can't wait to meet all the animals, Mommy!

The bird show took forever to start...ok, we were early...so Lil' Angel started entertaining everyone around her! Do I look cooool?

This picture of me is even cooler eh? Me digging my nose!

Maybe this is cooler...the aloof look!

Ok, enough of the sunnies!

Lil' Angel got tired of waiting for the show to start and she started talking to the people behind us...

Oh finally the show has begun! Lil' Angel watching the performance...

That's a big black bird! As expected...it flew very close to the audiences...

After the show, we walked around to see the other animals. Here's the kookaburra sitting on the old gum tree...

Now to the Koala enclosure. In case we can't capture any good shot of the real Koalas with Lil' Angel, the statue will do just fine...

As expected, we couldn't get a good shot of the Koala and us...

It's either us or the sleepy heads!

Lil' Angel is looking at the Kangaroos!

Look Mommy...the Kangaroos!

She was delighted to see them and started hopping like the Kangaroos! Now whenever we ask her what the Kangaroo does, she will hop, hop and hop!

I like the Kangaroos very much!

And I love my Lil' Angel very much too!

A one legged-bird...

Going across a bridge...

Lil' Angel enjoying herself at the Sanctuary...

The Emu is having a drink...

Hello Emu!

A huge Goanna relaxing...

The Pelican showing off its wings...

What do you think of the Pelicans, Caitlyn?

Hmmm...what can I say?

They stink!

Ooooohhh...such a cute little spotty mousy looking animal!

Errr...what's your name...you cute lil' thing?

We walked back to the Kangaroo area again and this time they were out of their restricted area!

Lil' Angel was eager to pat the Kangaroos...but she was still alittle apprehensive so Daddy showed her how to pat...

Mommy helped too...

Lil' Angel is not afraid anymore...

Be gentle...Caitlyn...

Pat...pat...

Stroke...stroke...Lil' Angel is a pro now...

Hey...

What's that Kangaroo doing?

I am thirsty...there's a cup of water here...

Lil' Angel checking on her cup...

Ahhh...that silly Kangaroo...this is my cup ya know!

Hey Mommy...please turn me around...I wanna see the wombat too...

This grass is yummy!

Echidna...

Almost time to leave the Sanctuary...

I'm sitting on the Emu!

And the Kangaroo...

Mommy disturbing the Emu...

End of visit! Bye animals!

On our way back, Daddy had to stop by at his favourite fast food restaurant - Red Rooster!
