Day 12 started early with a rush to Dubbo Zoo to secure an electric cart for our trip around the Western Plains Zoo. This actually became a highlight for the boys who would look at animals and then rush back to get the best seat. Amazingly, I did not get to drive this all that much, someone seemed to enjoy driving this and being in charge of the tour.
After being disappointed yesterday with the non compliance of some animals who seemed to wander away from the viewing areas or were asleep (is it worth putting lions and tigers in a zoo where they sleep for 20 hours a day?), many animals were much more compliant and awake this morning. These are magnificent creatures and majestic up close.
Love these Zebras.
Boys, I don't think the elephant appreciates being woken up. Elijah, it is not interested in your Nintendo 3DS.
Fighting for the back seat.
Are those boys playing with the baby rhinos again?
Kurtis' favourite animal...the North American bison. Elijah's favourite....the otter and his recently purchased toy tiger "Softy". Joseph's favourite...the lion.
Oh look, a caged emu. The dozen emus we saw scamper across the road in the middle of nowhere near Woomera would be SOOOO jealous of the easy life.
Kurtis, could you please get off the galapagos turtle.
Dropping Belinda off at her night accommodation.
We certainly have tried to keep costs down on this trip. Here are the boys in our luxury accommodation in Dubbo. It is Joseph's turn to sleep on the floor tonight.
The gallows.
Anyone who knows Kurtis knows he does need disciplining at times.
