Healesville Sanctuary

[petersj]

Ok its very much an institution here in Vic but if you have not been for a while its well worth a trip. Of course like many modern zoos the animals come first so you might not even see some animals who might be hiding or sleeping in their enclosures.

But its very impressive and the surrounds are just lovely.

The flight show with the birds of prey and parrots is world class but the newest attraction is a ripper.

Its called Tales of Platypus Creek and its brilliant. The keepers really care for these lovely creatures. The keeper hops into a tank with the platypus as she tells her wonderful story. As most of you know I am an ardent animal lover and this show is superb. The platypus actually seems to love her keeper even swimming between her legs making herself at home in lets just say a rather intimate place. The platypus even seems to love having its tummy tickled and keeps coming back for more.

 

I went there the other day with a guest and I must say the place was buzzing.

If you have not been for a while do see it.

The Tales Of Platypus Creek is a real winner. It cost $$$$ to build and worth every cent.

The conservation lessons are wonderful.

Odd I am quoting myself lol but its the only way I could paste.
