One not to be missed stop for Mom and Dad was the Ballarat Wildlife Park.
Here they are meeting Elliott for the first time. He came out especially to say hello. He is so beautiful and was very excited to meet his foster grandparents!!
Luke and Natarsha were showing this kangaroo how to hop.
After the park we went up to Bendigo to stay at the historic Shamrock Hotel and got there just in time for sunset.
This is the old post office in Bendigo which is now the visitor's centre. When Dame Nellie Melba stayed across the street at the Shamrock she couldn't sleep because of the clock on the post office tower. She demanded the hands be stopped. Ahhh, the perks of being an Opera Diva.
Matt, Barry and Dad in front of the Talking Tourist Tram.
On the way back to Melbourne we went to the see the cross on Mount Macedon. We also saw a massive kangaroo and a little dark brown wallaby. I was so happy Mom and Dad saw some native animals in the wild.
We had the best time with Mom and Dad and were very sad to say goodbye. At least there was a good entourage to see them off.
