Tinie Tiny Animals and Big Dark Caves

So today I went out with Katrina. We visited this lovely lady on a farm and went Caving. I've decided that adventure caving is my new favorite thing. I used to think I liked rock climbing but now I know that it's caving that I love. I like being able to free-hand climb over and around rocks and explore tiny crevasses you never in a million years thought your fat arse would fit into :) Tis amazing!!!! And challenging. And sweaty. And Dirty. And AMAZING!!!! Anyways, enough of my ranting :) I didn't get any photos of that today but I will get them off the girl who had the camera in a couple of days. For now, I have photos of the tinie tiny animals.


This is the 40 gram sugar glider that I got to hold. It shit on me. I'm never washing my shirt again!!! Nah, just kidding. Although, I am still wearing the shirt. . .8 hours later. . . :) It was SOOOO cute. It felt so funny as it clung to my shirt and tickled my neck and sniffed my ear. The little guy in front is a baby wombat. He hasn't got any hair because he is supposed to still be in his mothers pouch. But his mother is dead so he lives in this little baggy. It was good fun. Still not as fun as caving though :) This is me holding one of the joey's she had as well as her other baby wombat. The wombat was perfectly content being held around the stomach like this. I found it strange cause, well ya know, I would be freaking out if someone was holding me 4 feet off the ground like that. But, hey, what do I know?? Look!! You can see the poop stain on my t-shirt!! :) Tis up near my neck on the right side.

Also, take not of how tan I am. It's October, aka very early spring. I'm gonna be half black by the time christmas rolls around!!!! :)
