We visited the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast for a chance to get up close and personal with some Australian native animals. Apparently the sanctuary is renowned for its feeding of huge flocks of free-flying wild rainbow lorikeets and on other visits we had seen this spectacle but we missed feeding time this visit. The sanctuary provides help to injured animals from around the area and also now houses one of the largest collections of Australian native species in the world.
There are any number of attractions including getting up close with koalas and kangaroos including young joeys.
We did not get anywhere near this guy for obvious reasons.
There were also a number of water lizards around the whole park that didn't seem all that worried about having people around.
The most memorable part of the day was the bird show that included wedged tailed eagles flying over the top of the crowd at head height.
Just out the front of the house we are renting there is a great beach and now that the weather has lifted its a great way to end a day just lazing on the beach and watching the world pass you by.

We returned to Australia to enjoy Christmas with family and friends. Escaping Tokyo's cold weather for sunshine did not work out on Christmas day with rain and floods taking care of the day.

It was time for a new camera and the christmas sales made it to difficult to not aquire the waterproof and shockproof Panasonic lumix FT2. This camera takes great pictures and has some amazing automatic features that makes taking photos and videos very easy.
