Day 6

We got up this morning, skipped breakfast then got on our charter bus which was going to take us to the Koala Park and Melvy Harbour. The Koala Park was small but with a lot pf different kinds of animals. The first we saw was a wombat and we actually got to pet it. What an interesting creature, like a huge hampster type animal. We then went to visit the koala's. The worker brought over and sat him on the ledge and we all got to pet and take pictures with him. Very cool! We were then taken to a petting zoo type area where we walked through a gate and there we were in the midst of a bunch of kangaroos. I pulled out the bag of snacks that we had been given to feed the roos. The snacks looked like Cherrios and we just put them in the palm of our hands and the roos came and ate them. At one point while Bob was feeding them one of them came over stood on his hind legs and had his front legs resting/scratching on his tummy. Very funny. Two of them had joey's in their pouches which was really cool! At one point one of them came out and was jumping around like a boucy ball! So adorable!
Once we finished there we drove for awhile to catch a boat that would take us to Melvy Harbour. It was a family owned company that brought you back to their house and cooked for you. Very nice people and yummy food in the middle of nowhere.
Back to our hotel we went. I finished my book then we went and found a place to eat. Now we are uploading a video onto Facebook so go check it out. If I have time I will upload it onto here as well. Goodnight!
