Hi lovelies,
Today was a wonderful summery day, and perfect for our
little adventure out.
We set off today with our first stop being Roto House and
the Koala Hospital.
Roto House is a small house that has been restored and
houses the memorabilia of the Flynn family who built and lived in the house
from 1891 to 1979. It was filled with
family photos and memorabilia.
There was a lovely place to have a cuppa if only we had been
allowed to sit down.
Some beautiful old clothing items and lots of wonderful
stories.
This house is now maintained by the National Parks and Wildlife
Services and out the back door of the house is the Koala Hospital.
This was so cool. The
area is not large, but is very well set out and has so much information in the
small area they have.
In the information hall there is wonderful and great for
kids and adults alike. The ceiling has a
wonderful tree canopy built into it. The
job for Jacob, Thomas, Seb, Benjamin and Oliver is to guess what was used to make
the trees and branches. Of course anyone
else is also welcome to join the game.
Most of the koalas in the enclosures are receiving treatment
of some kind, though some of them are permanent residents due to the nature of
their injuries.
Most of the koalas were having a nap when we went through
and so we got wonderful views of their backs.
There were just a couple who were awake,
and one little one
who climbed high up in the tree tops.
It is a fabulous place to visit and we had a wonderful time.
From there we headed to Flynn’s Beach where there was time
for a little walk before we settled down to have our lunch. Such a wonderful relaxing hour.
It was then time to do a spot of food shopping.
Our final stop for the day was to Vickers Fudge and Chocolate
Factory.
It was filled with all kinds of
different fudges, lollies and chocolates.
Yes we did purchase just a little (only one thing each). My selection was some Macadamia Fudge and
Robbie chose some Rocky Road.
Then it was back to the van for a nap and for Robbie to wash
the car.
While I watched Robbie wash the car we were visited by some local wildlife.
Always something different to see.
All for tonight lovelies.
I hope you are having a wonderful day and enjoying life.
Robbie and Lizzy.
