Travelling Vicariously






 My brother and his family were recently cruising Australia among other places and shared these photos of koala bears and Kangaroos at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane Australia.  They got to hold the koalas and my sister-in-law says they are as soft and huggable as they look!  Travelling vicariously as Jenn would say!

3-4" Spider

Aaack with the spider!! They got to hold the koala? That's so cool. We were at the wildlife park in Australia, but didn't get to actually hold one.

Wow, what a wonderful trip. I love all the pictures but the last one scares me to death! Yikes, that is a mean looking spider.

Kangaroo galore!

I'd like to hug a koala ans see a kangaroo. That spider does not look inviting, though. I like spiders, mostly, but this one looks mean.

I think these photos are awesome. I would love to travel again, but am too disabled to do so.

As a child I longed to go to Australia. When I learned about all the spiders there as an adult I'm not in such a hurry.

Jennifer Rose said...

wow that would be nice to hold a Koala bear. Lucky them. my youngest was in Australia for a senior trip one time and he talked about the spiders.

Busy Bee Suz said...

That would be so much fun. Minus the giant spider. YIKES!

I can't believe how far behind I am. Your squash dish sounds delightful.

OOPS! Looks like I am not with it today. Sami, the lady who hosts Monday Murals was there and said the koalas were soft and cuddly. She said she was even allowed to feed one of the babies. Vicarious is about the only way I can travel right now, too.
