Our first stop out of Adelaide city was Mount Barker in the Adelaide Hills. Mainly so that we could pay a visit to Cleland Wildlife Park. A great place where kangaroos, wallabies and cute little potteroos pretty much roam free in the grounds and you can even hand feed them. It's a really lively place with the whole spectrum of Aussie animals and birds to spot. It's also big enough that you more or less get the place to yourself or at least you feel as though you do.
We saw dingoes and Tasmanian devils (these little blighters were safely in enclosures for obvious reasons) and I was lucky enough to cuddle a koala, possibly the biggest must do on my list while we're in Oz. He was a hefty chap named Jay and he was happily coaxed into my arms with a sprig from the Manna gum tree, so called I guess because it smells so good! We'll try and get the photo up here soon. In the meantime, here are some pics of us with the kangas.
