There is not much more pathetic (or cuter!) than drenched koalas!!

Outback Springs is the newly finished precinct in the kangaroo paddock. (Check the CWS website for details.) The big impact for me today was seeing a huge Goliath Stick Insect up close! Wet kangaroos - Eastern greys and central reds. Plus birds - emu, spoonbill, magpie geese, and af course, ducks & pigeons. How fun is this!?! Hundreds of wet, hungry birds, a few happy customers, & me & my volunteer mates providing nourishment. The action was insanely wild! See the videos for some close-up action. Besides the adorable bush tailed rock wallabies there are also cute little pademelons. Today was my best ever chance to video them. Beyond the back fence I can see a cassowary!
Koala shift - how wonderful is this! Bonus glimpse of a skimmer removing pond weed & algae from the lake. (Council $ at work!) Lovely fuzz-faces plus black swans on the lake and a few shots of our photo gallery (AKA the tool shed). The sore throat I reported earlier turned out to be a mild case of Covid, so I took last week off of 'work'. I have tested negative & I'm happy to be back at it. Lorikeets, reptile house, kangaroos on the hill, rock wallabies & pademelons, back to roos on the hill. Might not sound like much, but it was a full morning!
