Healsville Sanctuary

Friday we went to Healsville Sanctuary which is a great place to see all the Australian animals. We went there when we first moved here and it was so fun to see all theses animals for the first time, so we wanted to take Ashlee. They have an animal hospital there so you can watch as they are working on the animals. They happened to be operating on a koala that was having a problem with its eye. They were sewing its eye shut to help it heal and to keep the koala from rubbing it. Then after the vet was finished she came and asked if we wanted to go in and see the koala while it was waking up. The kids were excited to see the koala. Brady was loving it, he has wanted to be a vet since he was three. While we were in with the koala they brought in a bird that was hit by a car they needed to check it out to see what was hurt. We only stayed and watch for a minute because Abby had seen enough. Brady and Ashlee would have been happy to stay and watch but Abby won.
This guy did a boomerang show then after he sold real boomerangs that really work. He was showing the boys how to throw them properly so it will come back to you.
