Yesterday morning we loaded up the car with the two of us, Kelsey, Megan, Tess, and Pete and drove out to Healesville, about 45 minutes away from Melbourne. There we visited the Healesville Sanctuary, a massive zoo filled exclusively with Australian animals. We started with a platypus show, then saw the birds of prey show, and then wandered around for the next three hours visiting baby wombats, Tasmanian devils, wallabies, birds, snakes, and more. It was especially remarkable watching the weather turn from pouring, windy rain to perfect clear sun and then back every fifteen minutes. We finished up our visit by meeting and feeding some adorable kangaroos!
Afterwards we visited the Healesville Bakery and enjoyed some necessary hot chocolate and meat pies, and then headed back to Megan and Kelsey's. Later that night we went to Belgrave for dinner, and then finished the day up at the Sky High overlook on Mt. Dandenong, where we got some amazing (but cold) views of the city.
