April 5. Day 96. In need of an afternoon nap

It's a funny thing how tourists often get to experience many of the things a town has on offer which the locals manage to blissfully ignore. Like David Fleay's Wildlife Park on the Gold Coast.
The park turns 60 this month and despite living in south-east Queensland almost all of my life and having spent a great deal of time on the Gold Coast I had never been to the park - until today. Having an overseas visitor staying with you makes you re-evaluate what you have on your doorstep.
The park was delightful and all the Australian wildlife on show couldn't fail but impress (especially if you are English).
Personally I feel a real affinity with the koala. I mean any creature that grazes all morning and then flakes out in the afternoon gets my vote.
Isn't this little bloke a beauty?
