These bearded dragons were everywhere! As soon as we walked in there was one on the footpath. We saw SO many that day. They were funny-- they kept shaking their heads like they were saying 'yes' a lot.

Aren't dingoes cute? Don't they just look like dogs? But I learned that they're closer related to wolves than dogs. So they don't bark, they howl.

I thought that possum was so dang cute. All the Kiwi's (New Zealanders) in the audience weren't impressed though. Possums were introduced to New Zealand and they over-populated and are now pests there. Still, that would be a cute pest!

There was a lot of ground to cover there. We did an awful lot of walking, but we also had to catch the train a couple of times for the kids. Well... okay... it was more for mom and dad.

Isn't that tree so cool? There are so many cool trees here like that. Even right in the cities. So neat. The last shots were us waiting for the train. I've been giving Thomas a hard time lately, because in pictures instead of smiling he basically just shows me his teeth. So when I was telling him to smile-- he just decided to hide his teeth altogether.
