South Australia - Last Week of Trip

When we got to Murray Bridge, we all had some laundry to do. But they are under water restrictions due to the drought, so we limited the laundry to only what we had to have until our trip was over and this is the guys hanging their laundry out on the line to dry. Most people in Murray Bridge have clothes lines, which they actually USE and it is mandatory to have a rain water system, which gathers rain from your gutters into a resevoir to use in the home.
We went to a nature park and that chunky monkey behind the koala is me.

This is my dad, Murray Jarvis. He and his wife Chris were my counselors for my entire Rotary Youth Exchange year in Australia and have had an permanent impact on my life. They are my family.
We were able to feed the kangaroos in the park - see the joey (baby kangaroo) peeking out of the pouch?

Damon and the 'roos.

Another joey.
This is an emu - very large bird, sort of like the ostrich. You could feed it, but this one was kind of mean.
Cody fed him, but only under duress.

Australian parrots - aren't they colorful?
This is a place called Goolwa about 30 minutes from Murray Bridge - if you are going to have a beach house in South Australia, this is the place to have it. There were people surfing here today, even in winter, and if was whale watching season, but we didn't see any.
