A cute lil sugar glider taking a peek at me!
kangaroo on the hop
our country abounds in delightful creatures
sugar gliders with super sweet features
kangaroos grey red or brown abound
koala’s look cute but succumb to slumber
wombat’s prefer the cold leaving cubic poops
water dragon stands confident and proud
as do our goanna’s and blue tongued skinks
difficult to spot in the wild as pose they do not
visited a wildlife sanctuary to get a closer shot
sugar glider usually naps
but stuck her head up for a glance
roos usually feed at dawn and dusk
they damage cars and sadly become road kill
seeing wombats in the wild is such a big thrill
but they burrow rapidly shy by nature
our cold blooded lizards seek the sun
checking us out seems like their fun
aroused 
The animals are so very different from here. Awesome! What a cool planet!

it does look funny when they box but I’d hate to be on the receiving end … they are not animated or playing! They are aiming for a knock out

You are welcome. I was in Australia in May 2015. We had got down at Williamstown from a ship. But we were given visa for only five days, so 2 days in Melbourne and 3 in Sydney. 🙂
