Healesville Sanctuary




With koalas being one of my new favorite animals, we set off for healsville sanctuary. We did have to take a train and a bus to get there (which we had to run too because my alarm didn’t go off) but in the end we got to see a lot of Australian wildlife. We had an up close encounter with a koala. The running joke with Australians is that they all want to come back as koalas because they are high all of the time due to their diet of eucalyptis trees. Because of that they sleep 20 hours a day. Not too sure if its true, but they do look high all of the time. We also saw kangaroos, Tasmanian devils, wombats and some birds. Back in Mlbourne we got some dinner and headed to the Crown. The biggest casino on the southern hemishhere (so they say) but it was HUGE! They have around 60 restaurants in the complex and three hotels. Of course, I had to say I’ve gambled in the biggest casino in the southern hemisphere so I played some penny slots for a while. In the end I was up $15, just enough for the first round at the bar that night J
