Wildlife Park

This is a must if you get to Phillip Island! Not much to look at from the front, but once you are inside it is fabulous for getting closer to the native wildlife.

Some kangaroos looking for a feed. There is a joey in the pouch too. 

Feeding the wallabies and the kangaroos is always great fun.  Joeys would pop their heads out to see what was going on, but none of them would come out of their mum's pouches.

Cameron and a kangaroo, with joey watching on. We tried to feed the joeys, but they were not interested in coming out!

This Joey, almost too big for it's mum's pouch, see it's leg poking out above it's head, that cannot possibly be comfortable for Mum or Joey. 

Cameron and a wallaby  How cute is this! 

Alexander feeding the wallaby, the joey has popped it's head back in, but it's tail is still sticking out!

Emus, not Phil or my favourite animals, those beady eyes look evil. Alexander really wanted to feed the emus. After holding out food for one, he was not too keen again, they are really large sharp beaks! The only problem was the other emus saw that there was food on offer, and all decided they wanted some too. 

That was when I put the camera away, and we made a dash to the gate! We were not hanging around to be in between a group of emus, especially since this one became very possessive of us and was making very frightening noises and being aggressive to the other emus.  

Alexander soon changed his mind about feeding the emus!
