Healesville and the White Night - Is that full or what?

Our adventures were just beginning at Healesville Sanctuary, we are excited to see what we will encounter. Marissa is hoping for some cuddling Koala time (Dale is secretly thinking the same thing).

There isn't any Koala holding going on but Marissa still seems happy to see them.

If we were that kangaroo, we would want the entire treat too. Why would you want to share it?

We could play this over and over - it just makes us smile! Marissa was really excited to meet him but see what happens...

Don't miss out on the fabulous bird show, 'Spirits of the Sky'.

Who knew that birds are so smart... actually the rumor has been out there for a while but this black breasted buzzard has an edge on smarts.

We don't see signs like this in too many places! We hope to see them crossing our pathway here.

The other show they offer at Healesville is, 'Tales from Platypus Creek'. This is the only Platypus show in the world, so sit back, relax and enjoy a bit of the show.

Look closely as the Platypus keeps swimming up to cuddle her arm.

Melbourne city is a buzz of noise, lights, entertainment, food and an endless amount of people coming to see the 'White Night' extraordinaire.

The theme we noticed over and over at 'White Night' was 'Alice in Wonderland'. Every few minutes the projections on this building would change to a different photo. There were different buildings throughout Melbourne that were being highlighted for this night. The city (which was closed to everything but foot traffic) was bustling with so much activity and adventures to be seen around every corner...many were there until it ended at 7am the next morning. As their Premier pointed out, 'This 12 hour celebration of art, music, film, and dance will light up Melbourne's city streets, laneways, gardens, and buildings, showcasing performers and works from Victoria and around the world."

Not us, we had had a fun filled but exhausting day although we made it 10:30 pm. 

Here is a moving projection on the Flinders St. Train Station.... grab a quick snack and a seat. Enjoy!
