Healesville Sanctuary :)

Can't go to Yarra Valley and not check out Aussie's native animals right? So our last stop before we left for the city.was Healesville Sanctuary :D It's like a mini zoo-park actually, no ra-ra animals like lions and tigers hahaha. Tickets were reasonably priced., but if you want to touch the animals you'll have to pay a little more.

There's this ginormous eagle statue at the entrance



Emu :) 1st exhibit


Bird show!


Didgeridoo performance :)

Exposed!:O hahaha it's actually an ad for recycled toilet paper :)

Dingooooes


There're tons more reptiles! In glass exhibits of course hahaha 

Healesville Sanctuary Animal Hospital

One of the few animals which we can walk right up to :)

Haha this bird tried to bite off my dad's head :X

Cute birds that walk around the entire zoo

Grey kangaroos

A boxing red kangaroo :)

Wallaby! Super cute :D

And of course, the koala bear. It just slept while the ranger talked abt koala bear stuff -.-

There's also a bird enclosure that you can enter and a children's playground with a trampoline and everything! There were seriously tons of kids hahaha what else to expect at a zoo xD There's a cafe at the entrance and another inside. Just be warned, if you dine alfresco inside the park, you may have to share your food with the birds!


We also visited The Big Bouquet in Healesville :) There's a cafe and a greenhouse with lovely geberas all year round. We missed the tour timing so we just had a look at the alpacas, which are like the quirkiest-looking fourlegged herbivore I've seen xD They're basically mini llamas and are kept for their wool!
