On Philip Island, south of Melbourne, we visited a Heritage Farm, Wildlife Farm, took a boat to "Seal Island" and watched the nighttime penguin parade. On our little trip was: Brad, Claire, April, Todd, Mandy, me and Mark. We got to feed, by hand, horses, sheep, wallabies, kangaroos, emu, etc. Check out the mama kangaroo and her joey. It was amazing to be that close to kangaroos (very soft fur!) and feel their claws on your arms and hands holding them in place so they can feed from your palm. They were very gentle but very hungry! On the boat trip, we sent to see an island of seals and watched them play in the water. The day was capped off by watching penguins make their daily trip from sea to sand dunes to nest for the evening. Aussie animals are so entertaining!
