Perth, Western Australia January 31, 2018


I guess the koala didn't trust me...

A cute little guy though.

 He seemed to like Judy.

Petting the koala.

Whereas the wombat liked me...

Do you like her?

The kangaroo wants you to rub his belly.

This kangaroo has a baby in her pouch.

A kangaroo baby is called a "Joey."

Off to the Lobster Shack for lunch.

Crates and crates of fresh catch Australian lobster.  This facility accounts for fully 20% of all fish (not just lobster) caught in all of Australia.

The lunch was great!

After lunch we went to the Pinnacles, limestone formations within Nambung National Park, near the town of Cervantes, Western Australia. Here's the Wikipedia link.

They say there's nothing like these Pinnacles anywhere else in the world.













We wandered around the Pinnacles before going to the sand dunes.  See below:





These giant sand dunes reminded me of the dunes I encountered many years ago in Tan Tan, Morocco, in the Sahara Desert.

 Although we were in a "military grade" 4WD Mercedes, it broke down when descending a large dune and we had to be rescued by a tow truck and transferred to a bus to return to our hotel.
