In May we made the long journey to Australia. We visited family in Melbourne and Perth. We were there for about 2 and a half weeks. It was winter over there so it rained and was in the 70's. Nice weather if you ask me.
Plenty of Kangaroos over there. It was Joey season, where they are just big enough to be seen in the pouch. This one was shy and all we could see was his legs sticking out. 
This little guy is called a Quokka. Only found on Rottnest Island. They are marsupials and are about the size of a large rat or small dog. Way cute!
This is a picture from the ferry of Rottnest Island off of Perth, very pretty. The beaches are spectacular and you can only get around the island by bicycle. They have plenty to rent, it was a fun experience. 
So while in Australia I ran across Steve Erwin. Yes folks he's still alive! Kidding... this little boy in the picture just jumped in and started jabbering away to me while we were trying to take the picture. lol 
The one thing that still amazes me and makes be realized I'm in another country is these birds! They are all over the place and hang out in flocks. Cockatoos are native to Australia.
