An April afternoon at Cleland Wildlife Park


Visiting niece Emily had not seen a kangaroo or Koala yet after nearly 2 months in Australia and I hadn’t been to Cleland in over 15 years I reckon. Clearly we are slack hosts! So today Roo, Emily and me hopped in the car and headed for the Adelaide Hills.

It was a perfect afternoon with a totally cloudless sky. Just right for some speccy shots of us getting up close and personal with the furry marsupials.

Wallaby darned, there's a Joey in that pouch.

We finished up at Mount Lofty Summit, a lookout over Adelaide.  It was brilliant autumn weather with just a hint of chill in the air at the end of the day. Autumn in Adelaide. Not too bad at all.

    Thanks for the kangaroo pictures, you don’t see a lot in Italy, or Spain, where we are now.

    That Joey was soooo cute. Very cheeky, putting on a show, in and out of the pouch. We were enchanted by the little one and the mum seemed to be proud.
