Koalas, wombats and a cassowary







When we were in Brisbane we went to the Lone Pines Koala Sactuary with Amelia and the 2 girls she was staying with (whose names I have forgotten :s ....they were very nice though!!) We obviously saw lots of koalas, but some other native Aussie animals too. The cassowary is a huge flightless bird, just a little shorter than me, and I think it may be a dinosaur, but I'm not sure. You find them in the wild further up the East Coast and they're quite dangerous - they can kill humans. If you hit them with your car, I think it's like hitting a stag - they have a big bone-like thing on top of their heads like a rhino.
