Double Hippity Hop, Hop it's Easter on Kangaroo Island!

It's Easter Sunday and I've signed up for a guided tour of Kangaroo Island where the highlights were getting up close to wildlife in their natural habitat.

Here's a goana and in terms of pronunciation - my best friend's name is Ana and it's pronounced with a short "a" versus Anna with a long, nasally "a". Well, it's pronounced "Go-Anna".



We also went into a kangaroo sanctuary and saw these roos up close and personal. One new thing I learned about kangaroos is that when they are born out of the birth canal, they are the shape of a little pea which somehow crawls up its mother's back, over her shoulder and then slips into the mother's pouch where it grows to the form of a baby kanagaroo (aka "joey").
