Billabong Sauctuary - Townsville, Queensland

Next up was the city of Townsville, where we found another pleasant surprise in the Billabong Sanctuary. Along with a fantastic keeper talk on the crocodile, we watched one get fed and held a small one. There was also a very informative talk on the Cassowary, Koala and Dingo. Both of us held a koala as well, which was pretty damn cool.

What a beauty!

It is breeding season for the fruit bat. They were all over the place.

This wallaby came right up to Natalie. They are free ranging but obviously fed very well.
