Being here early definitely has its advantages. You have time to meet people before the DTS starts. You also have the opportunity to going to some cool places. Yesterday we went to Kangeroo Island. It's not actually an island but its more a park you can go to. It's surrounded by water from the Swan River here in Perth.
We heard about this island the day we arrived and we had to go when we were told not only there would be kangeroos but they are so familiar with humans that they're almost completely domesticated. We took a long walk around the city of Perth and followed a bike trail to the river. Once we got to the river we made our way to this beautiful field. Finally we arrived, at the penninsula that is called Kangeroo island. Several girls and I were remarking at some of exotic birds not even noticing that all of the others were actually petting the kangeroos who they had found.
Amazing. These kangeroos will actually let you pet them. They keep a wary eye on you but they'll actually stop and you can quietly walk toward them. I can only say that their fur feels a little bit like rabbit fur. We all took pictures and I shot video. I'll post the pictures later but right now internet connection is sketchy at best. Dean our Irish friend did his best Steve Erwin (Crocodile Hunter) impression as I was filming. It should be funny to watch.
Hope all is well with you and God Bless!

Hey, it sounds like you are enjoying life. I'm happy for you. P.S. Can you send me a small Kangeroo? I've always wanted one.
We just got back home. I didn't have your blog address so this is the first time I have had a chance to read what has been going on. We are glad you are getting settled in Perth and love you a lot. Let us know if you need anything.
