Wildlife - part 1

| | Comments (2)
So last weekend (a week ago), Pirjo and Jarmo came to stay with us.  Saturday evening was a very pleasant evening of wine, cheese, lamb roast and chatting.

Sunday we decided to go to Tidbinbilla, as they were interested in seeing some kangaroos up close.  So off we went.

The funniest thing I didn't get a photo of was an emu being chased by an angry masked lapwing plover :)

And then we left.  Could have spent longer there, but they needed to drive 450km.  So just had lunch in Belconnen and off they went.

OH! So cute...except for the last one! ;-) Thanks for sharing. Maybe you'll get to go again soon!

Well we bought a season pass, so will need to go again to make it worthwhile. Would be good to see more of the wetlands that we missed out on seeing due to lack of time.
