Kangaroos, wombats & cows
Yesterday, we went to Maru Fauna Park on the Bass highway to spend some time with the kangaroos, wallabies and wombats.
At the fauna park we get hands-on experience in hand feeding kangaroos, wallabies, emus and a host of farm animals including sheep, donkeys, horse, chickens etc.
They have a large Wombat Nursery housing orphaned young with opportunity to pat and take photos. We also had a look at the koala compound. I was told the koalas hate to be disturbed when sleeping so I just looked from afar.
Later we snacked on Devonshire tea, that is, scones with jam and cream, and tea or coffee. Seems to be a favorite here, and I can see why, mmmm, yummy!
This morning, we went around Warook Cattle Farm for several hours. Situated at Monomeith one hour east of Melbourne, it is a three hundred acre working cattle farm running over 150 heads of cattle and over 900 lambs, that also operates as a tourism business which allows guests to sample life on a farm. The farm, established in the late 1800's,is run by Pru and Andrew Troedel who bought the property in 1986.
Oddly we did not see very many cattle, but we had a lot of fun. I tried to milk the cows but the cows won't let me!
Later we went up to Cranbourne Park shopping mall in Cranbourne. Paul and his other kids, Tarnya, Philip and Ian came for dinner, I cooked chicken curry, beef ginger with baby bok choy, chap chye and lamb madagascar. Had fun watching them kids try eat rice with fingers. His kids are well behaved and polite. Ian, the cutest, is charming even at 15 years old.
