Last day of school and no better way to spend it then out at the Halls Gap Zoo. Aiden's prep to year 2 class headed out there for this year's Big Day Out. The hands on activities were first - the kids were all allowed to touch a childrens python and feel the spikes on a dragon lizard. The spikes are not really sharp at all. Everyone was then allowed to hold a rabbit and a gerbil was also passed around.
After morning tea, one of the owners, Yvonne, gave us a personal tour of the park. They have done a lot of work on the place since Aiden and I were here last year. There are a number of new animals and they have plans to bring in even more. It was great to have Yvonne guide us around. She was able to scare up a number of the animals that were hiding and allowed us all to pet one of the wombats and brought out a couple of dingo pups for us to pet.
After we finished the tour we ate our lunch in the picnic area and then Frau Stoffel had some games for kids to play. The remainder of the afternoon went quickly and before we knew it we were packing up to go home.
