Koala Village, Magnetic
Island
  We finished our Forts walk at Koala
Village arriving at two fifteen, luckily there was a tour starting in fifteen
minutes. Perfect. Our first new friend was a fresh water
turtle, complete with birthmark and ready smile.
  Then being brave with a saltwater crocodile.
 Shadow the
black cockatoo was very taken with Bear.

cockatoo.
   Charlie was
a real sweetie wanting attention and stroking.
    A real
poser.
   Various
reptiles.
    Bear was set upon by Jimmy the python and I had a fun time.
 A baby bird eating
spider was not for petting, fully grown she will be the size of a dinner
plate.
  Cute by the
lorry load.
 Looking at the smaller crocodile, it was a while before we noticed the bigger
one.
   The final thing we did was line up for
a handful of wet brown bread and join in the feeding frenzy, hundreds of wild rainbow lorikeets. They were everywhere.
   I started with two – easy to photograph with my right hand, five was a little trickier until I had three dangling from
the camera strap and eight on my hand.
   Bear began with two, then a party, some on his
head and then an armful. But best of all and the most wonderful experience was cuddling Belle.
  ALL IN ALL WHAT A FANTASTIC
TREAT
FABULOUS
