Perth Animal Park

After coming back from Hong Kong, we went to the Caversham Animal Park to pet indigenous Australian life.

Here at the Caversham Wild Animal part in Western Autralia, you aren't just feeding the animals. You are fattening them up!


This is a Wombat, 'nuff said.

This is an Emu. Emu's are equal parts unfriendly, curious, and unintelligent. This EMU snatched a lady's camera right from her hand. "Stupid is as stupid does." Fortunately, the lady called a volunteer who retrieved her camera and suggested a little payback below.


We went to the beach in Perth. Sean is sporting the latest sun protection. With the help of a little 30spf goo, we managed to avoid sunburn. The sun is brutal down under. The temperature was very mild - a little warmer than Socal.
Thus ends our little trip to the AU. This is one destination we would like to revisit. With Yermack help, organization, and drive, we really did accomplish a lot. Our Hong Kong mini-trip was really amazing and not something to pass up.
We also left a lot on the table like Ayer's Rock, Manly Beach, Barrier Reef, Blue Mountains, Melbourne, and the Perth Aquarium. The geographic scope is amazingly large. Doing these back to back would be the US equivalent of visiting Disneyland in CA and then the White House.
We made it back to the US fine. Now the challenge is to get the kids back on the right time. Sean was up all night - 27hours! Ok, gotta go wake them up and keep 'em up.
