Kangaroos finally...





Since we found a place to stay and have a little bit of time before school starts, we decided to spend the weekend as tourists. On Friday we went to the Game On exhibit, which focused on the gaming industry, at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image. And on Saturday we headed out of town to the Healesville Sanctuary to see kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, wombats, dingoes, platypuses, and a lot of other strange native animals. (Can you guess which one of us picked Game On and which picked the Healesville Sanctuary?) I must say that while we were both excited to see kangaroos, most of the other animals were way cooler. My personal favorites were the baby platypuses swimming through the tank :)

Platypusses? Cool! (How is the plural spelled, anyway?) Every animal you named is fantastic, like someone made them all up. Alice in Wonderland? I can't imagine a place where they just live.
I hope the apartment is a good spot. Good luck on the rest of your adventures!
