A piece of petrified wood. Tree stump that I'm pretty sure was in the rock & gem shop that was a previous use of what is now the volunteers office. WAY before my time at the Sanctuary started!
Koala boy, Brut, was sleeping in a perfect spot for selfies.
Trish (with Lauren's OK) let me into the gliders room in the nocturnal-house. It was the first time I had a squirrel-glider up close encounter!
Early in the shift, before the crowds started lining up for koala photos, I got a cuddly with Moet - and a few unofficial photos on pocket cameras & phones.
The full team was here today, so we knocked off raking, window cleaning, and pot & pole washing, all in short order and had time to offer red clay to the koalas. The clay has trace minerals and koalas will eat some if they feel like it. It is a treat for us volunteers. Hard to explain, but it is a special experience - a level of intimacy that we don't often achieve.
At the end of shift we got most of us together for a group koala cuddle photo (sorry Kylie, but you were in a meeting then). I was holding koala girl Snow.
