A last Wildlife Adventure for a little while

With our Annual Pass at its expiry date we packed up our bags and headed off for one last jaunt with the animals.

We were reminded why you need to be careful when hiking through the Australian bush.

We cracked jokes about Drop Bears, loudly, for the tourists’ benefit.

These guys were playing near the water as it was a warm day out!

According to the sign, this fella is the world’s deadliest bird. He also took issue with the nice man who was trying to clean his glass. Poor man *shakes head*

Photobucket

This half of the emblem could have been a taxidermy specimen! I swear he was moving around on the day! (Boing! Boing! Boing!)

Photobucket

And I’ll never forget having an emu steal my cheese sandwich when I was a child. Damn emu! *shakes fist*

Some types will ever be prone to playing up to the paparazzi.

And as we bid a fond farewell, we noticed Rex was enjoying some sun. One would almost swear he was waiting for someone, or something, to fall in.

Photobucket

Yes, you.

Photobucket

Yep. He’s awake alright! Just waiting for one small slip up!

Jurassic Lounge

Just like so many other people, we went to the final Jurassic Lounge of 2011. Those of you with keen eyesight and memories will remember that we went to the first one way back in February.

Though I must say, going by the volume of people that turned up, I think they’d be silly not to run it again! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the museum so full! Sections of it when there’s a specific exhibition on yes, but the was packed all night! HOORAY for the Australian Museum!

Photobucket

Just for a change of pace from our usual route through the museum (beginning down and heading up), with tickets purchased and complimentary drinks acquired, we headed on up to the Dinosaur exhibit. I was determined this time to work my way down through the Museum for a change!

Photobucket

As much as I really got into wandering around the Museum with the glass of wine in my hand, it did somewhat inhibit picture taking when you need both hands to be steady because of the low light! But I managed to work around it! *smiles *

Photobucket

Scores of people!

You might remember Ripley from the February post linked to above …

Photobucket

It really is amazing the art that can be created on the wall with a projector and some dirty glass dishes!

*tries not to make a Monty Python reference *

For those in the know, this was originally where Himself and I were planning on holding our Wedding Reception. In the Bone Room! Is that not a spectacular idea?!? Dinner amongst the bones!!!

Photobucket

At this Jurassic Lounge though, the bone room was the karaoke room.

Photobucket

I have a few more photos that I would like to share with you from this trip, but those can wait for now. Hi-Ho Silver, AWAY!

Photobucket

Until next time, keep adventuring!
