Australia Day



The 26th of January is Australia Day, celebrating the founding of Australia (forget about the Aborigonies who were already living here for a little bit). Seth had the day off so we headed to Werribee Open Range Zoo. This zoo has the typical enclosures for kangaroos and lions (those are not together, by the way). It also has a 'safari' in which you load up on a bus and drive around the open ranges. We were able to see giraffes, rhinoceros, and different kind of antelope type animals. It was pretty cool. Lilly really liked the zoo although she was petrified of a man walking around in a zebra costume.

In the evening we took a train to the city. They had a very strange performance, I can't really describe it. We have a little video I'll get Seth to put it on the site. We went to see the fireworks. We weren't disappointed with the fireworks. They were being set off from three different places and we were able to see them all.
