Originally posted by Dundee Slaytern: I have been to Australia, and I stayed there for a month. I had a great time at my Aunt's log cabin, feeding the Kookaburras and watching the Yellow-Crested Parrots flock together. Not to mention the encounters with wild Koala Bears, countless Kangaroos, Wombats, etc... ... And I must have squealed like a little girl inside when I saw the Fairy Penguins. I love the Australian wildlife, and am fascinated with the Funnelweb Spider, Blue-Ringed Octopus and the Box Jellyfish. I have heard of the rest, but I am not familiar with them. My only regrets was not being able to see a wild Tasmanian Devil or the Plataypus( saw them in the zoo though).

Koala Bears ?? What are Koala Bears ??
Koalas are marsupials

Infact, most of our wildlife is marsupial. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Lessee...
Kanagroos, Wombats, Koalas, Echidnas, Platypi, I *think* Tasmanian Devils, and alot more I can`t remember [img]smile.gif[/img]

Bit of Aussie trivia, though: the national emblem has a Kangaroo and an Emu, not only are they native, but they can`t walk backwards. [img]smile.gif[/img]
