Kangaroo Island - Animal Sanctuary

After seeing plenty of koalas in the trees high above us on one of the walks, we wanted to get a little bit closer so we visited one of the animal sanctuaries on the island, "Paul's Place". Wow, we had an awesome time and it was only us and another couple there feeding all the animals for over an hour. Basically the farmer just kept giving us buckets of feed and leaving us with the animals. First off, we were feeding kangaroo's, lambs and an alpaca, who all kept trying to grab the bucket of feed off Lee rather than eating gently out of our hands. The alpaca also spat in Lee's face which the farmer was particularly happy with, telling us he had taught him to spit at "the pommes". Next stop were the emu's and deer. Vicky was too scared to feed the emu who were about the same height as us and pretty vicious in pecking the food out of your hand, especially when they ganged up! Next stop was the koala bear where we got a chance to get some photos while holding the bear. Finished up with some echinadas (hedgehog like creatures), a singing kookaburra, some parrots and the obligatory snake! We'll put a selection of photos up because we had a really great time getting so close to the animals, which were all named!
