Penguin Parade and other Animals


Koala at the Reserve
Today was a great day.  I did the Philip Island tour that was all about the animals.  I went to a wildlife reserve that takes care of injured or orphan animals.  The reserve is a nonprofit organization so all monies go back into taking care of the animals.  They put on shows and explain about the animals and then you got to feed and pet them.  There were Kangaroos, Emus, Koala bear, Tasmanian devil, and so many others.  Then the tour took us to the ocean where we were able to see penguins.  We were not allowed to take pictures in the evening as it would harm their eyes. But it was okay during the day, most of the penguins are in the water feeding but a few were taking the day off and hiding in their man made huts.  These are the smallest called fairy penguins. Very sweet animals.  Here are pictures:
