Jan Misses the Koalas and Kangaroos

While poor Jan's been busy attending job interviews and studying English, Amanda's been working, if you can call visiting the Caversham Wildlife Park work. (She took 50 foreign teenagers with her, so it wasn't all beer and skittles).


At Caversham you can feed kangaroos (Wendy from Taiwan enjoyed doing this) and meet the koalas. They rotate the "meet and greet" duties amongst the koalas so the rest of them can keep sleeping.

And you can take a camel ride too. They're not a real Aussie animal, but they do like our climate and they run wild up north. For the record, I've promised Jan I'll take him to pat the koalas real soon.
