    Emus wandered throughout the park. This was one of the largest birds we saw.: by taylortreks, Views[194]
         		 There were several peahens out and about. Obviously, they're not as colorful as the males.: by taylortreks, Views[143]
         		 The peacocks were beautiful, even without their striking tail feathers on display.: by taylortreks, Views[160]
         		 Several of the distinctive pink Galah were flying outside their covered aviary.: by taylortreks, Views[132]
         		 There were several larger parrots and cockatoos, this Black Cockatoo was one of the largest.: by taylortreks, Views[169]
     
    Anna stood still for too long and apparently looked like a perch. Then the lorikeet starting checking her hair for good stuff.: by taylortreks, Views[121]
         		 Rainbow lorikeets are aptly named. They're also good at dive bombing!: by taylortreks, Views[215]
         		 Ooooohhhh, aaaaaaahhh, over to the right, aaaahhhhhh, just keep scratching! The koalas are very soft.: by taylortreks, Views[173]
         		 Yep, they're as cute as they look on TV. Those claws look mean, though. Luckily, he's just using them to stay upright on the branch.: by taylortreks, Views[113]
         		 He's at least making the effort to see if there's food.: by taylortreks, Views[162]
     
    After the zookeeper shook some gum leaves about, this koala woke up. But just barely.: by taylortreks, Views[180]
         		 That just CAN'T be comfortable!: by taylortreks, Views[169]
         		 It was a grey, cool day. And the grey koalas blend into the grey branches. Since it was cool, these koalas were not interested in eating. They were less active than usual. Which is saying something for koalas!: by taylortreks, Views[138]
         		 Kent finally gets his turn to feed the 'roos and was quickly surrounded. You'll notice the ducks hanging about in case of fallout.: by taylortreks, Views[118]
         		 Anna wasn't sure what to expect when the 'roos ate out of her hand, but they surprisingly gentle. However, they do like holding on to your hand so you don't take the food pellets away until they're done!: by taylortreks, Views[143]
     
    Was that it?! Surely you have more than that!: by taylortreks, Views[158]
         		 As a matter of fact, we do have food!: by taylortreks, Views[178]
         		 This the first roo to wonder if those new people have food.: by taylortreks, Views[144]
         		 ... and a younger 'roo too large for the pouch. The one on the right, not the red 'roo on the left! : by taylortreks, Views[117]
         		 Here are a couple more...: by taylortreks, Views[162]
     
    Finally! Our first kangaroo spotting!: by taylortreks, Views[107]
         		 And a funny sight on our way home! : by taylortreks, Views[208]
         		 A small boat race in the river mouth.: by taylortreks, Views[233]
         		 Phil and one of the trainees join Stan on the yardarm to secure the sail.: by taylortreks, Views[240]
         		 The sail goes up as Phil
     
    Stan ventures waaaaay out to the front of the bow to attach a camera.: by taylortreks, Views[263]
         		 Phil demonstrates the proper technique to
         		 The second mate is darn young!: by taylortreks, Views[113]
         		 Once we cleared the river mouth, then the waters get choppy. It takes over an hour to clear the river and get here. No problem, though, there was plenty to look at along the way.: by taylortreks, Views[103]
         		 Stan's house is behind the Port Adelaide Yacht Club. What a tough life!: by taylortreks, Views[155]
     
    Kent's reward is to sit in the bow rigging. That's the part Anna really wanted to do!: by taylortreks, Views[204]
         		 Whew! He made it!: by taylortreks, Views[153]
         		 ... THE TOP! Phil makes sure Kent is securely fastened to the rope for the descent. (Meanwhile, Anna is getting a serious neck ache trying to point the camera straight up!): by taylortreks, Views[130]
         		 ... still going...: by taylortreks, Views[144]
         		 ... about a third of the way up and still smiling and still going...: by taylortreks, Views[110]
     
    Kent clips his ascender on to the ropes and starts his climb up the mast...: by taylortreks, Views[124]
         		 In the center is Stan, after he helped Kent get into his harness for the climb up the mast!: by taylortreks, Views[121]
         		 They do all the submarine building and maintenance here.: by taylortreks, Views[146]
         		 Let's not forget submarines, too!: by taylortreks, Views[127]
         		 There were several ship under construction at the shipyards, including this destroyer.: by taylortreks, Views[142]
     
    ... and we're off!: by taylortreks, Views[141]
         		 Now the second bridge...: by taylortreks, Views[184]
         		 The first bridge is going up!: by taylortreks, Views[131]
         		 Meanwhile, we're waiting for the bridge to be raised. Otherwise it's gonna be a short cruise around Port Adelaide!: by taylortreks, Views[153]
         		 There were a couple of crews out for their Saturday morning workout.: by taylortreks, Views[140]
     
    The red lighthouse is part of the South Australia Maritime Museum.: by taylortreks, Views[115]
         		 Baggy wrinkles are attached to the rigging lines and prevents the sails from chafing on the rigging. Very clever! Of course, Anna just called them
         		 Once rope was frayed it was repurposed as
         		 Polly has his own spot on the ship. We didn't ask him if he wanted a cracker.: by taylortreks, Views[133]
         		 Our friend Stan told us there is about 5 km of rope for the rigging on this ship. Holy crap!: by taylortreks, Views[131]

    My horse being readied for riding out at 7am, means we catch horses in the dark before the sun has come up. Loads of fun!: by luchinko, Views[1035]
