Korol Greene Aussie adventure: Nowra Wildlife Park

With a few days of overcast weather and rain, we were looking for some different things to do with the kids. We found a great indoor play area in the neighboring town when it was raining all day. They loved it & K got to meet and play with some local kids.

The next day, it didn`t rain but was pretty overcast & not all that warm. So we headed to the Nowra Wildlife Park. The parking lot was practically empty so we were worried it was closed. As it turned out, it is just a small place that is very dead during the week (especially when the weather was suspect).

This guy greeted us in the parking lot

As soon as we got there, they told us we were just in time for the Wildlife show. They were gathering the animals together for the show, including this little Wombat.

Tom cuddling & sniffing the Koala - they are suppose to smell really good but we thought it was pretty neutral smelling

Sweet Koala face

We had formal pictures taken with all the animals in the little show. But only Tom held the python though!

The baby Wombat (yes, that is a 1 yr old baby!) was very needy & wanted to be held while they were talking about the other animals.

The keeper asked if anyone wanted to take over baby Wombat holding duties. I was happy to voluteer - he was seriously so sweet.

There were Kookaburras buzzing around us. We have also seen these guys in the wild

When the show was over, we woke up the Wombat (yup, he fell asleep while holding him!) and he walked back to his enclosure.

These birds were so pretty and had bright yellow legs too. We saw them all over the place in the wild but never seemed to have a camera handy.

Very cool tree trunks within the Wildlife Park

This huge tree was growing on the side of the rock

The Llamas were ummm - playing `leapfrog` haha!

The park was in a very pretty location with the cliffs on one side and a river on the other

We spent a lot of time watching the Dingoes. They got into a howling match with this group of orangey ones on the rock and the white guy below them. We got some good video of it. They were so loud!
