Snookums prepares to receive his dolphin kiss.
SMOOCH!
My turn!
The dolphin show was pretty good. Here are Bucky and Zippy doing the thing where they propel themselves backwards on their tails.
This kid got picked to come up and brush the dolphin’s teeth!
I actually did not know that seals really can balance a ball on their nose! This little fella walked right across the whole stage with that ball on there!
After the show, we all put our hands in the water so the dolphins could swim around on their backs and let us pat their bellies.
The Pet Porpoise Pool had lots of other Australian wildlife, including an aquarium with sharks and fish and turtles.
Snookums looks at the fairy penguins. Some of them were molting, and they looked pretty funny with their feathers sticking out all over.
We had to run an errand on the Coffs Jetty – getting a part for the Penguin – so we walked out along this causeway. It was incredibly hot and windy! (I got a little sunburnt on my shoulders, despite wearing sunscreen.)
I couldn’t resist stopping off at The Clog Barn on our way home from Coffs. We missed the clog-making demonstration though, and we didn’t feel like paying five bucks to see the miniature Dutch village.
