Creatures We Met on our Excellent Aussie Adventure

One of the exciting aspects of visiting the great land "down under" is being introduced to all sorts of creatures one would never otherwise meet, except perhaps in a zoo.
So here is a sampling of some critters we got up close and personal with on our trip to Australia in April.

Some closer than others.
