Photos from the Koala Sanctuary

Here are some of my photos from the Koala Sanctuary outside of Sydney. The wombat is named Matilda and she's 17 years old. She is a little grouchy and bites and scratches so only the handler can hold her. She smelled like a ferret and had rough, coarse fur. The bird is the cassawarry--the strange and fierce emu-like bird. 

The kangaroos were incredibly friendly, or at least very interested in the food that we bought at the sanctuary for them.  We watched the little fairy penguins being fed by the handler--they flip the fish in the air to eat it head first.
