The next day we headed off towards Burnie. We stopped at Penguin to see all the penguins. Not real ones anyway. Cute little town. Once we got to Burnie Rod went back to this 2nd hand mag wheels shop for a look, he was impressed.
We continued on and headed for Wings Wildlife Park, to finally see devils. We were pushing to get there by 1.00 for the devil feeding – we made it. Let me tell you not impressed by the lady on the counter in respect to our voucher, however, I won the battle.
We wandered around and looked at the variety of animals they had there, quite different to a normal zoo. There were trout, which splashed everywhere when they were fed, these cute monkies, very tiny, mice, devils, birds, owls, chooks, emus, roos, buffalo, donkeys, deers, rats, ferrets, rabbits, guinea pigs and plenty more.
Two highlights for me were the feeding of the devils. They were so cute. They gave them a kangaroo tail and because devils can’t see through the day they all fought over it, one would run around and the other two would chase the scent. Quite amusing.
The second highlight was watching the monkeys. Oh I love them. But to add to the story there was this little baby, a boy, gripping on his mother’s front giving her a big bear hug. Next minute he lets his left leg flog, realises there is something between his legs and starts playing with it. It was hilarious.
We left the Wildlife Park and headed back to Ulverstone. We found the free camp there, again magical spot. We were parked right on the river, right next to a massive park for the kids and 500m walk to the centre of town. The kids went off and played all afternoon and Rod and I walked down town. At night Mitchell had a go at fishing in the river as the tide came in, with no luck.
