My Home Vege Patch And Garden

DAY OFF

MY COMPANY "RETIREMENT BY DESIGN" GAVE THE STAFF a company trip - to the Healesville Sanctuary last Thursday. We were bused to the Sanctuary and we had an enjoyable day. I had been to the Sanctuary before and so it was a bit of a bore.

The staff had to wear green - shirt, jumper, binnie, jacket; anything as long as it was green. Something different .....

I must say I enjoyed the pumpkin soup and the animals especially the koalas and the joeys. I was amazed by the surgery room at the Animal Hospital there and said, "it was like a real hospital surgery theater for humans!". Of course, animals have anatomy like humans.

I also liked the bird show and Auspilot asked, "it was like the live bird show at Jurong Bird Park?".
