Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

We visited Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary while Alaina was on school holidays. Thanks Gram and Grampa! We had so much fun watching the koalas, seeing the wombats, naming the birds, and going to the dog/sheep shearing show.




I find the dog show so cool and Lincoln loves all the "sheeps" he applauds every little thing the dog does. Alaina was fascinated with the sheep shearing, imagining what it would be like to wear that big wool coat around.

My favourite part of this trip was that we happened upon the wombats at feeding time. One of them was so sleepy the handlers could hardly wake him up to eat. Like his nick-name-sake. Linc feel asleep in the car on the way home and simply would not wake up for dinner. Wombats are sweet, stocky, cute, sleepy, and strong, including mine.


By the end of the day some of us were ready to go home...
But really, we had a wonderful time. And look forward to going back several times this year.

  1. You're right about making the grandparents happy. We miss you guys so much, but the pictures really help. Thanks for taking the time to post. I'm glad Lincoln still claps for the dogs. Watching Lincoln was my favorite part of the dog trials and that's saying a lot because the dogs were fascinating, as well.
