Re...Sitting chuckling here in Melbourne, Australia. Remind me never to let you hold a koala, they are not calm animals and have very sharp claws. They also make really loud noises in the bush and you think it is a pig up a tree.<br />Living in the city we dont get to hear Kokaburras very often, but they have a great song.

When it was clouding, the ocean was grey.<br /><br />I know, Caroline! One of the nuggets looks something like a profile of an eagle. The story goes that the teenage son of a miner found it, lifted it up and yelled at his dad. The father was about 100 or so yards away, looked toward his son and said, "put that dead bird down and get back to work!" It was almost as big as the one I'm holding!<br /><br />Linda, yes, they were in winter, but in Perth, the weather was very similar to Houston in the winter. Along the shore of the Southern Ocean, it was much colder.<br /><br />I have a video of the kookaburra singing, I'll try to post it here. I wish I'd asked the trainer to turn the bird around...the back of the bird is really pretty...blues and browns. But I didn't get a picture of that! Oh, I'll add a tag to my pinterest page, I have lots more pictures of the trip.Anna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-81067786970446776882013-11-14T13:18:23.358-06:002013-11-14T13:18:23.358-06:00I loved the photos too!

That makes Australia even more special.<br />I'm so glad you have the photo of the Kookaburra--I thought they were fictional creatures. I've seen Koalas in the San Francisco Zoo long ago--they're such calm animals. <br />And is the ocean really that blue?<br />I loved these photos and a peek into your grand trip.
