Kangaroo Searching - Buchan

We went to Buchan to find some kangaroos, but had no luck. We did manage to see a wallaby though! While we went through the caves, Paul was napping in the car. He told us when we were done that he thought he saw a kangaroo hop across the road, but couldn't be certain. We went to look in the direction he pointed. Paul, Andrew and I climbed up a big hill but came up empty. We went back down and started heading towards the car. I wanted to take a few pictures of the small creek and as I walked over, I heard a rustle in the bushes. A wallaby hopped out! I was so excited! That was what Paul had seen hop across the street. It was very thirsty and kept drinking from the creek. It even let Andrew get pretty close!












You can see the wallaby in the bottom right
corner drinking.

Raymond Island

I love seeing the wildlife of Australia. I don't see much where I live because it's a built up area. Kangaroos aren't just going to hop down the main street. We saw more wildlife then usual down in Bairnsdale since it's out in the country. In order to see koalas though, we went to Raymond Island. We took the ferry over and had fine driving around looking for them. In all we saw 17 koalas, including one baby, a wallaby, and a kookaburra! We also got invited by a creepy man into his garage to see his train set. He built it himself over the past 11 years. It was very cool to see, even if the man was weird.




I wanted to get a better picture of the
kookaburra, but when I turned around to take
the pic, it was gone.


Paul spotted this wallaby alongside the road
while Chelsea and I were walking around
looking at all the koala's. It looked at us for a
while then hopped off into someones yard.


This one is doing some stretches.


The baby is hard to see. It's above
the mom, but hidden behind leaves.




This is one of the best pictures I got of them.
















If you know Andrew, you know this is a typical
face!
