feeding time at Warrawong a video by Poppytree2010 on Flickr.
Had a wonderful 24 hours at Warrawong Wildlife Sancuary up in the Adelaide Hills. Our accomodation was slightly better than camping but was still a canvas eco-cabin with wooden frame and zipped flyscreen windows. It did have air con for hot days and a heater and electric blanket for cold nights and a small shower room and toilet so quiet luxurious really! It rained heavily during the night and the thunder woke us several times but at least we were snug and dry in proper beds. Our package included several self guided walks, an animal show and a sunset/night walk with a warden + dinner and breakfast.
As well as all the usual marsupials and parrots we were extreme lucky to see the only Platypus (colony) living in the wild in South Australia. They are very hard to spot and sadly not easy to photograph by torchlight. I now know the difference between Bilby, Bettong and Bandicoots but the kangaroos, Euros and Wallabies are not so easy to tell apart especially when the grey ones are 'red' kangaroos and the darker brown ones are 'greys'!
We had a great meal before the evening walk and breakfast looking out over the shaded ponds and fern gardens. We were joined by loads of parrots, galahs, lorikeets and ducks as you can see.
