Sept 9 - Australia and New Zealand

I spent one week in New Zealand`s North Island, and another in Australia (few days each in Sydney and Cairns). The trip fulfilled my long time fantasy of befriending kangaroos and kaola bear!

The first day arriving New Zealand, my digital camera broke down (after 10 years of dedicated service). So I had to rely on a video-camcorder to take photos. The picture quality is not too satisfactory.

Baby cows – at most a few months old. They totally loved me!

The adults - they had to work hard though. Milked twice daily - 4:30 am and again 3:00 pm.
