Melbourne 1st December 2003

We were heading to Phillips Island to see the penguins today. But the cute little penguins will only emerge in the evening. So we had the whole day to explore the rest of the Island.

We passed by this wonderful pier (Forgot the name), where there were loads of people fishing along the pier. Wish that Brenda's Dad was here. He would enjoy chatting with these people and telling them about his conquest. Really hope that one day we can bring him here for a trip.
We were brought to a Sanctuary, where all the Australia's cutie pies are found. I had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Aussie's heavyweight, The Wombat. The keeper woke her up from the sweet dreams, so she was a little grumpy (As you can see in the picture). She was awfully heavy and studious, but suprising quiet. Maybe haven't woke up completely from her slumber.

The koalas were all sleeping (As usual) when we arrived at the Koala Research Sanctuary. We were allowed to go in to the park and search for these wonderful marsupials high up on the trees.

We did not managed to hug a real one, fearing they will scratch our eyes out. But we did manage to come by the world's largest Koala and hug her/him all we want.
