#66 Kangaroo Creek (Complete)

A Day Down Under 

  

“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” 

― Mahatma Gandhi

So I have completed #66 on my list, and to be honest I was pleasantly surprised. I put Kangaroo Creek on the list mostly because it was something that Jenelle was so excited about. I had been to many "petting zoo's" before, Armstrong Fair, PNE, Croc Talk, Parrot Island, Etc. This Zoo is defiantly different, it comes with a land down under vibe;  has unique animals such as parrots, emus, wallabies and kangaroos.

What was super great about the whole experience is that not only was it close to get to, but its also 100% FREE! (Please donate though). The whole experience was also a great reminder of how unique small communities like lake country can be, for example how many places in BC can you think of that have a Kangaroo Farm! The animals also seemed to be well looked after, which is always a plus!.

Although the kangaroo's were cool if I had to pick a favorite, I'd have to go with the Emus. I am not really a bird guy, but these creatures are so cool to be close to, they present as being very prehistoric like, and run like funny fuckers!!! Although the main attraction was a bran new baby albino wallaby who was still in his sack.( Pretty awesome to hold something that small)

Jenelle's favorite was defiantly the miniature goats, such comical little dudes! The highlight was defiantly when Jenelle picked one up for a picture and it chewed her hair up, leaving some grassy slop in her hair.(LOL) 

The only downfall was during the kangaroo tour, Jenelle SOMEHOW puncher her foot on a branch, causing blood to GUSH everywhere! This resulted in us leaving early for medical attention...but it was ok, it was a hot day and we had seen enough by this point. So with the exception of blood and pain it was a fun trip!

Would I go again? Probably not, unless if I had kids with me, its pretty obvious that kids add a new whole excitement factor to the experience. I defiantly enjoyed it and don't have any regrets, but its a one time deal.
