Melbourne - What a City! -- Part 2 --
Two highlights... Melbourne Zoo (far better IMHO than the Sydney Zoo), and the Melbourne Royal Botanical Gardens!
B and I so enjoyed the zoo... lots of shade, lots of viewing, hands on experiences, beautiful scenery.
Meerkats... we got so close
Eclectus parots, male and female... or is it female and male?
Zebra
Baby Snuffy... (I don't know his name, but that's what I'm calling him... he was so cute and playful)
Loved these flowers...
Everyone's a critic....
Stripes vs. spots....
This monkey was actually talking on his cell phone while the rest of us were trying to enjoy the primates.
Echidna... he was so in a hurry on his little echidna errands...
There was a massive paddock where you could roam free with the docile doe-eyed Kangaroos... so sweet (NOT to be confused with their leaner, bigger, meaner red cousins). The big one next to B is the male.
He posed pretty.
What is this you ask? It's a kangaroo eating sushi out of a baby stroller, of course.
(but the bigger question is WHY is someone storing their sushi in their baby stroller?)
Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens... oof... massive...
The blazing summer sun lit the everything with a warm light and the trees were so green they seemed to glow!
B's impression of the opening of Rocky & Bullwinkle...
Near some sort of sports arena area.
Swan and signets! So fluffy!
Melbourne has problems with giant robot catarpillars....
B is hiding... sort of....
Looks like Japanese hydrangea ...
Melbourne is a beautiful, livable, friendly, stylish, well-organized city. We loved it.
Stay tuned for Smedley and The Great Ocean Road!
