philip island
a special holiday place for my family is an island about 90 mins drive south-east of melbourne. it's special for several reasons. it is the region where my mum's family is from. my grandfather was a coal miner near the island and it's where i learned to surf and enjoy the ocean. 
yesterday we went down there for a drive and visited an animal park. it is here isaac had his first real-life encounters with kangaroos and koalas. it was a great hands-on wildlife park and isaac had a great time hugging the kangaroos. we also had a wonderful seafood platter for lunch at the san remo pub. here's isaac feeding a baby wallaby (above), and below is the sleepy koala, the pre-historic-looking cassawary bird, and the whole family feeding an emu and a kangaroo.
