Native Wildlife

This weekend Simon's work had a family day at Cleland; a local wildlife park with Australian animals. There was facepainting as usual:

Also included was a wildlife demonstration, and James and his friend got to touch or hold quite a few creatures (while Eleanor had a nap). Unfortunately my photos are limited, as I forgot to bring my spare battery, but they also patted a bearded dragon.

 This is a Black Breasted Buzzard.

A gorgeous Dingo.

A native python of some sort; James was very brave and totally fascinated, but did get a bit scared for a minute - though he didn't let go or make a fuss.

They were also both ridiculously excited about patting the koalas, given they both get to see and touch these in their own gardens!
