The next day we packed up a picnic lunch and headed off the Australian Reptile Park for the day. It's a pretty small place, but has so much to see... we got to pet a baby wombat on the way in from the car park, before we'd even entered the place!
Rich, Hannah & Gemma enjoying the spectacle of poisonous snakes and reptiles.
The Emu's and the Roo's were wandering around freely amidst the picnics. But when they wanted a break from the visitors, they had their own rest area.
A highlight of the park is the croc feeding ... so we went off the see if Elvis was feeling peckish.
With no delay he lurched out of the pool towards the keeper with a dead chicken on the end of a string.
Elvis looking pretty satisfied!
Then we went off to see my favourite animal!
The koala's ... sooo cute.
And the keepers/volunteers came and held them so we could pet them and feel how incredibly soft their fur is... quite a juxtaposition to the huge, sharp claws they have!
Can't believe the size of the heads on some of the kangaroos!
The little Wallabies are very cute.
Then we checked out the spider house and the frog exhibit.

And just time for a quick pick in the croc's mouth before we headed home.
