Ballarat Wildlife Park

This morning I left Gisborne in the sunshine and arrived in Ballarat in low cloud and drizzle!! What a change! I took the toy voyages to the park so one could achieve a mission, which was to have kangaroo experiences! Easy to do here!!

Mum and bub!

this was the first time I had seen a red kangaroo close to the fence, their faces and eyes are quite different to the gray kangaroos.

So peaceful!!

Happy days!

Wild day out

Last Friday Margaret and I took the toy voyagers to the Ballarat wildlife park to meet some Aussie animals.
