The Adventures of Kerri & Matt

We went for a canoe ride at night to see the nocturnal animals.

We brought the camera, but someone put it on the inside of his jacket underneath his life jacket, so we couldn’t use it.

(That person also didn’t lose the camera or get it wet while doing most of the paddling).

Of course that person also wouldn’t have lost the camera if we had left it safe in the hotel, and it would have done us just as much good.

(Alright then, agreed)

We saw lots of kinds of wallabies and kangaroo rats and possums.

We also saw four tree kangaroos. These pictures are from a zoo, because we had no camera.

(I think they figured that out from above already)

They are really super duper cute.

And easy to identify with their really long tails.

They hop along the branches with their big feet. They went hop hop hop hop hop. But we had no camera.

(Well at the zoo we did and at night with no light it wouldn’t have worked anyway)

The picture from the zoo is blurry because someone dragged me away too quickly.

(We had a time limit and had to get back to the van)

They also cling to the branches.

With their sharp claws.

And climb up and down the trunks.

They apparently like corn on the cob.

They eat leaves in the wild. But we didn’t have a camera for that.

(—-)

We did have a camera after we removed the lifejackets, so here is a frog. It is not nearly as cute as the things we saw with no camera.

(————–)

At dusk we went to the river to watch for platypus.

There was a big blind for us to sit behind, and two people sitting in front of it, leaning on it, with two leashed dogs. Fortunately the platypus didn’t seem to care and showed up right on schedule.

He darted around really fast and only came up quickly for breaths between dives, making it hard to get a good picture.

The curtain fig tree is much taller than Kerri.

Most Australian waterfalls are not.

Some of them are, but then they have only a trickle of water. Not having glaciers means your waterfalls are not worth walking too.

The fungus growing out of the trees is weird.

The frogs that come out at night are huge.

And have really weird feet.
