What comes to mind when you hear “Australia”? I’m betting that Koalas and Kangaroos are at the top of the list, along with the Great Barrier Reef and the Opera House. Australia has so many creatures who appear only on the Australian continent, and that alone makes these animals special…not to mention adorable. And they truly are adorable.
On my tour of the Blue Mountains with Blue Diamond Luxury Tours our last stop of the day was at an animal sanctuary. Many of the animals are not able to go back into the wild, though some are born onsite. To see Koalas (they aren’t bears, they are marsupials), Kangas, Wombats, and Wallabies is a rare treat. Just watching them brings joy!
Here are some awesome birds!
Love your photos! It has been few years since we were in Australia – holding a koala was a highlight for me. The animal life in Australia is so unique – I love that. I know you are having a blast!
I LOVE the koalas! Diving the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow!
These animals ARE magical. Your photos make me want to go to Australia, like now!
Me too! I absolutely need to go back!
