Melbourne Zoo





This morning we had hot and humid weather, but since it wasn't raining we finally made it to the Melbourne Zoo. The zoo was just a 10 minute train ride from the city. When we arrived we went straight to the kangaroos because even though we have been in Australia for almost 2 months we hadn't seen a kangaroo yet, except dead ones on the side of the road. It was really neat getting to see the selection of the animals at the zoo here, which was a bit different from Woodland Park Zoo. Aside from seeing the kangaroos, the highlight was the orangutans which were playful as always.

The kangaroos look so relaxed - as if they are lounging around a pool in the afternoon. I hope you soon see them in the wild. love, Mom/Rebecca
