Crocodiles & Koala’s, i am the one on the left!! The Koala is saying "clear off buddy, find your own niche, slow & grey is my thing, ok?"
Another trip today, a rainforest trip to see crocodiles & koalas. Jane, our tour guide for the day is excellent, knowledgeable & attentive & she has a large Tupperware box of cake, lamington cake so she scored big marks from me!! We did discover a lot today, crocodiles are amazing creatures, scary but amazing. The further north you go the more chance you have of coming into contact with them in the wild. There have been 4 deaths this year by crocodile & they are talking of culling them. It’s a bit unfair on the crocodiles as this is their territory. I mean if you swim in a creek with signs that say don’t swim there are crocodiles around then what do you expect!
The size that a crocodile can grow to is incredible, some of the pictures & life size models of captured crocodiles look so unreal!
At last we get to see Koalas!! And it’s up close & personal! The handler was very knowledgeable & answered all our questions & yes, they look even cuter up close. I have a lot in common with Koalas, i could be a koala. They are mild mannered & non aggressive, they don't make much noise & they like climbing trees, they sleep a lot, they have a small brain, lots of grey hair & a vacant mid distance stare that says “what am i doing here?”, much like me at work or at any time really!! And Janet says i can be cute & cuddly, sometimes, not often enough apparently!!
I have to admit i adore koalas! Funny, at infant school my nickname was coogee bear! For those that are old enough you may remember, for the rest of you google it, hint = Rolf Harris! and he should have known better as they are not bears!!!
Love & vacant grey haired hugs,
Jeff & Janet
