What's that you're holding?

Let's face it, animals from OZ look, well, like they are from OZ.  What is taken for granted down under, never ceases to amaze those of us from the other side of the equator.

Friends complain about how a Kangaroo & her Joey ruined someone's birdie on the 9th hole - or how a Walabee stares down the neighbors when they go to walk the dog.

Well, living in Sydney, we don't get much of that . So while visiting Brisbane, we took a river cruise to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary - the oldest in Australia. Touching and feeding was believing.

This koala weighs about 15 pounds and sleeps the better part of a day.  Who says a vegetarian diet will keep you slim and full of energy?
