Zoo and Xmas lights

Hello again.....just look at this relaxing Baboon......On Saturday while still in the city we decided to visit the zoo.....Year members and only been twice lol  All the Baboons were sleeping just like this one 

Giraffe in with some Zebras 

Peter Pan statue, which I had never noticed before.....

Lemurs all relaxing together trying to keep warm 

They refused to look my way.....

Some mini stork bird 

Elephant way off in distance

Pelicans free to come and go, but reckon they would like staying just for the feeding times lol 

Notice how most animals are way off  trying to hide 

3 lions here which are only 2 years old 

We had a good walk around and then caught the tram back 

And dropped into Crown Casino and a photo of their xmas tree, exactly the same as last year 

And their xmas light show which is on every 30 minutes, lots of carols being sung 

We then caught another tram to Port Melbourne where the ships depart from.....My cousin Lisa and her girls and grandgirls were on this ship.....3 day fun cruise ☺☺

Woody relaxed back at the apartment Saturday night 

Sunday we drove home and took a snap of a park called Gumbya World which is about to re-open December 18 more details here was just an animal park with toboggan ride but now so much more....

Back home relaxing again with Downton Abbey 

xoxoxo

New years eve fun and beyond

Hello again, here we are in the big smoke checking out where some of the fireworks were going to be near us......simple selfie looking back ☺

The television people were rehearsing HOURS before but was fun to watch....the young guy used to be our sport guy for Gippsland news but moved on the the big smoke with Channel 7 his name is Sean Sowerby ☺

Certainly looked like they were having fun lol 

Hours later getting ready for the real fireworks to begin.......

and they were impressive although my mobile can be a bit testy lol 

Bang....plenty of

We then walked back to our city joint to relax after midnight ♥

Next day we thought why not do the tourist thing and visit the Melbourne Zoo, so we caught a tram 

I did not take many pics of other animals but we are now members so can go back again and again for better snaps....monkeys here 

A Gibbon I think 

A little dark but a almost white Gibbon 

Little monkeys

Giraffe having a drink 

Male Baboon was busy chasing a poor female who was NOT keen lol 

Racing off after her......

We then took the train back into the city......

and did this tour.......

Padded cell which has footprints going up the walls......interesting

looking out the door 

This was the drunk tank

drain hole so they could put any drunks in here and hose them down and LOCK the door.....

Main part where we had a pretend arrest of some of us.....me being one of them 

Shower area for the men 

Looking back through main area and there were plenty of us doing this tour

Creepy but also very interesting at the same time, normally no roofing so open to the hot days and freezing cold winters.....

Heavy locking door 

Oh dear, what do we have here lol 

Makes a good criminal ☺

Oh yes and apparently I was arrested for growing suspicious drugs and because of my T-Shirt guard said I was off the planet and out of this world lol  

a bit of fun......

and later we went to Crown which is a casino in Melbourne and checked out their Xmas display which was real neat

little eggs opened up with a different song in each egg.....Jingle bells here 

There was Frosty the snowman too next time will get better pics.....ended that day so wait till next year lol 

and this is a little plant Sarah gave me for Xmas and is staying in the city and already has a new leaf growing ♥

Love to you all out there from us xoxoxo
