Healsville Sanctuary

We have been FOTZ (friends of the zoo) members for about 5 1/2 years now and we have never been to Healsville Sanctuary. So last tThursday we headed up there. The weather was cold but not raining (well for most of the day anyway). Had a great time got a bit wet and a bit muddy but we all enjoyed ourselves.

Here are some shots of very hungry and wet Koalas, Ryder and Drew, and the elusive Platypus. Anyone who has seen the playtpus at Melbourne zoo or Healsville will understand how hard it is to get a photo, as they are nocturnal so there houses are very dark and they move at lighting speed. So i am very happy to have this photo even though it isn't one of my best
