Platypus, Platypi? It's all good.
Ok, here are some pictures from the previously mentioned trip to the Healesville Sanctuary. What you see (in no particular order) is:
- a wombat (close up pic),
- two kangaroos,
- a tazmanian devil (from far away),
- Sarah with two dingos,
- a group of australian pelicans, and
- Christine only moments after a pelican attempted to bite her in the ass (!!)(revision from earlier story. Apparently there was no actual contact). She was talking with her back to them and backed up a little too much. Let me tell you, those australian pelicans look innocent but they can snip at you from quite a distance and with great speed!! After the "Incident" their eyes took on an ominous look so we quickly moved on to more sedated animals such as the wallabies and echidnas before things got ugly.
I hope you enjoy the pics. I am going to have all our pics posted on the web in the near future. I will post the link here when I do.
Take care and apologies for the brevity.
Eric

I like the pic of you sitting with a smirk after Christine got goosed (pelicaned?). Nice use of the bench to help armor your posterior.
Someone got their Christmas goose a little early!

Thanks for the warning about those seaky Aussy pelicans. Like Paul, I noticed that evil smirk & figured it was right after the "incident".
