Healesville Sanctuary

We returned to Healesville Sanctuary and again took advantage of their Magic Moments program, which we had done on our last trip with kangaroos. This time we got time up close with the koalas and the dingoes. Both were really great experiences, but it was the koalas that really stole our hearts.

More photos here.

I think for Isaac the highlight of this entire trip might be the moment in the photo below. Our hosts had told us that the parrots would eat our of your hands and Isaac had gotten them to do so before we left for the animal sanctuary and was thrilled. That afternoon when we got back he spent a lot of time out on the porch near the bird feeder and became buddies with this parrot who eventually hopped right onto his hands to eat. Isaac could hardly contain his excitement!
