Sorry for taking this long to post this, I was so lazy to do anything after I'm back. I didn't even transfer the pictures to my laptop until two days ago. Anyhow, here's the highlight of my Melbourne trip!
When we're in Melbourne, we took our day tours from
Gray Line. I think it's a great idea to take this kind of tour if you want to do sightseeing since they have a lot of tours to choose from. As for our tour, we went to Churchill Island, Phillip Island and the Ballarat Australian Wildlife Park.
At Churchill Island, we got to see
wallabies (small kangaroos). Unlike kangaroos, they're so hard to approach so I only got to take their pics from far away.
A ten-month-old wallaby.
Baby wallaby in the mother's pouch! It's really rare sighting so the tour guide said :D
*sorry for the blurry pics, they're too far*
This one is so camera-ready :)
Then at Phillip Island we visited
Koala Conservation Centre where we could see koalas from tree top boardwalks. But when we were there, we only saw one koala that's awake, koalas are sleeping most of the time.
The only one that was 'awake'.
One of the most popular wildlife attraction at Phillip Island is the
Penguin Parade. The Penguin Parade is where we could witness the
Little Penguins returning from the sea each evening at dusk after spending the day up to 100km off the shore and watch as they leave the sea, cross the beach and go to their burrows. The Little Penguin is world's smallest penguin and only about 1ft tall. They're the cutest birds I've ever seen! (
I hate don't like the rest of the bird species btw)
On our way to the Penguin Parade.
This is where we watched the Penguin Parade.
Waiting for the little penguin to come home, it was super cold!
Too bad we weren't allowed to take any photograph of the penguins even though I really wanted to do so :(. But I took this picture of the penguin plush toys for you all! The real little penguins were just as cute as these :D.
Wallabies are so much cuter than kangaroos IMHO.
I was hand-feeding this young kangaroo!
Most of the kangaroos had this kind of attitude when I tried to took their pictures.
A baby kangaroo in the pouch!
My mom said the one in the front looked dead, LOL.
They actually look kinda cute!
But until I saw this...
not so cute anymore :p
Feeding the devil with white rat.
Next, the koalas again!
This is the one that I petted! The koala's hair feels so soft and they smell really nice!
He tried to lure the koala with their favorite food!
Saw this mama koala with a baby!
I got a little obsessed with them and kept taking their pictures :p.
Love how she cuddled the baby!
I was wondering if this one's the papa koala :D
That's it for the Melbourne's wildlife adventure! Next, I'm going to make you drool :p.
Till next time!
