We woke up one morning and decided to head for Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary - the first in Australia. It's only about half an hour from home - a real gem just outside of the city.
Home to Lone Pine in Fig Tree Pocket - 15km

The most beautiful owl - a Barn Owl - such a gentle looking face. And it flies so silently.

You can actually take a boat from the city up the river to Lone Pine.
What a beautiful spot! And the koalas were SO gorgeous!

Didn't want to nag, but was wondering when you'd get around to updating. It was worth the wait. Favourite pic? the one taken of you at the end of the charity race! Heh! Heh! the expression says it all.
Tumbulgum isn't to be photographed, it's to be experienced. A dorp with a difference.
Right, now it's my turn to make the trifle. My contribution for New Year's eve. Hope it looks as good as yours.
Luvya lots

I love the pictures of the birds. The eagle is just so beautiful and stunning. I never had a chance to go near a kangaroo before and I really like to see one up close. With all the heat wave in the country that I have been hearing from friends, I am kinda wondering on how koala's are dealing with it in the wild. Friends in the country says that at times it gets so hot that they don't leave home cause it's a huge headache to deal
with the heat.
