Gail and Cactus

One of our highlights was actually interacting with the native animals of Australia. Here is Gail with Cactus, a Koala at Cleland Wildlife Park just outside of Adelaide

Fun shot! My daughter spent 6 weeks near Adelaide during the summer of 1991 and she visited Cleland Wildlife Park while she was there and had her picture taken while holding a Koala... I am looking at that photo right now! Such a small world! As a matter-of-fact, to prove the small world theory, a few days after she arrived in Australia she went to a 4th of July party and while visiting with a couple there found out that not only did they know where she was from (a TINY town south of Spokane, WA) they had family and friends here!

@marilyn Thank you Marilyn, it is surprising how small the world is; a couple at the dining table on the cruise had several friends in common with Gail & I even though we had never meet them before.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian, Gail has had a Koala collection here for over 40 years, so to pet a live one was a big thrill for her.
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, it is a great continent
@cscecil Thank you Carolyn, interacting with their animals is really neat

@phillyphotos Thank you Paula, we are having family over on Easter saturday so I can't go to NYC to see Shelly's photos

Wow. I don't think I expected them to be as big as that. They seem smaller in the zoo. Perhaps distance does that though.

@webfoot Thank you Paul, and I was surprised when I petted him how soft he was.
March 20th, 2013
