We went to Caversham Wildlife Park and we saw lots of native Australian animals.

 |
| Us and a Wombat |
 |
| Lots of kangaroos |
 |
| Koalas |
Koalas sleep a lot. The eucalyptus leaves they eat are not very nutritious, so they conserve their energy by sleeping 20 hours a day!
We went to the farm show!

It's summer time in Australia. The night and mornings were cool and the days were hot. We had a great time, I wish we could have stayed longer. Or maybe, go back for another visit?
