::*~L o f t y & C l e l a n d~*::

Today i went for a trip organised by the uni..to Cleland Wildlife Park and Mt. Lofty which is SE of Adelaide..

We set off at about 9.10 am..the journey took about an hour. We went up to Mt. Lofty first then to Cleland park..which was in the same area. Actually, i've been to Mt. Lofty the previous i came to Adelaide..it was my brother who drove me and my family to the summit..there was nothing much at Mt. Lofty other than the scenery..which you can only enjoy a good view if the weather is bright and sunny. Unfortunately, it was cloudy today..thus we didn't really have a good view of the scenery..as the clouds have set in...
My main purpose was to go to Cleland Wildlife park where you can see animals...However, it didn't turn out that exciting..because i think animals in Australia are pretty limited? The main attractions are always koalas and kangeroos...but we got to feed the kangeroos...and got close to the koala and took pictures with it..though it isn't something new to me..because i've done so before the previous time i came here...thus it wasn't exciting..lolz..
Other than the 2 main attractions, there were Tasmanian devils..btw it doesn't quite look the same like the cartoon character from Looney Tunes, 'Tasmanian Devil'. Dingoes, Pelicans(pretty common here..don't really have to go to a zoo to see it), Wombats, Emus, and some kind of a rodent..not sure what's it called..Bushtail? but it's quite cute..some type of birds...and i think that's all? Oh ya..there was a kind of black and white duck that was quite cute...it honks..and the sound of it is very cute...i think if there are a group of them, they can form an orchestra..haha..i took a video of it..
That's all for the school trip of the day...and we reached city at about 4pm...
