My gorgeous cousin took us to see koalas!For our vacation to Australia, I knew I’d have a great time — but I kept my expectations low when it came to meeting the thoroughly cute animals I associate with the country. Fortunately, as evidenced in these photos we shot at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, those ultra-charming creatures fully deserve their endearing reputations!
Turns out that Koalas…
… are truly as endearing as their koala reputations!
And koalas love trees.
And koalas love to nap.When it comes to kangaroos…
Kangaroos don’t mind much heat as long as they have fresh water.
Also, kangaroos know how to lounge in style.In the case of ring-tailed lemurs…
Lemurs are born photographic models!
These two lemur brothers love to play!
Lemurs are social animals.
This lemur and I pose in — sort of — the same way.The first part of our amazing trip began with a whirlwind tour of New Zealand’s beautiful Auckland / Rotorua / Redwoods / Huka Falls / Craters of the Moon / Waitomo Glowworms Caves / Taupo / Pirongia / and Hamilton Gardens. For the second portion of our vacation, we flew to Australia, where we began our visit with Gold Coast. There we met terrific family, observed these exciting birds — and these too, hiked breathtaking views, enjoyed the beach, and saw this wildlife in this post with this unique wildlife at Currumbin, had fun with Rita Rigby, and met the beasts of Brisbane and the beauty there.
Is there an animal you’re eager to see in person?
Awww 🌷 I love them all 💕 Thnx for sharing

Nope, unfortunately, we’re sweltering. No AC this house but we may try to have it put in. Summers are getting harder and harder to bear.
Do you ever beta read? Just curious….

Hard to sleep when it’s so hot… what is beta read? (Does that answer your question?)

oh boy – a beta reader reads a WiP with an eye toward helping the writer resolve missed threads, identifies wandering plot points, makes suggestions about what works well and what doesn’t seem finished. Writers usually read for each other before a mss is sent to an editor for professional feedback. Often, each reads for the other.

Very appealing creatures, especially the koalas, and I wish I could snooze in a tree like that. You asked what animal we’d like to see in person, and koalas are definitely on the list, but I’d choose to see a whale up close, eye-to-eye.
