Healsville Australian Wildlife Sanctuary

Got to laugh at some of these Aussie creatures like the wombat!
Never saw a dingo in the wild so made-do with this encounter with a sleepy fella!
I loved the pelicans - reminded me of the Roald Dahl story 'The giraffe, the pelly and me' - couldn't believe how big their beaks were and loved watching them diving for food - they looked like they would capsize every time they dived.
This bird was great cos it would lift its left/right leg, open its wings and even 'roar like a tiger' when asked to do so by the keeper. At the same time we saw a fly-past by an eagle with a 2m wingspan - very impressive!
