Australia - Maleny: The Wattlegully Farm Stay

My dear friend, Kirste, met us at the airport in Brisbane. After spending some time with her and Jake, it was off to Wattlegully!!

Wattlegully is in Maleny, which is in the Glass Mountains area. We stayed at a farm. Farmer Ross picked the girls up in the morning at 7:00 in the "ute" to go help him feed the animals. They got to feed the horses, goats, alpacas, and "chooks."

There were wild wallabies that would come up by the cabin, and a pair of kookaburras, who would steal food from the deck. We went on a small hike to find a koala. No luck finding a koala, but we saw many different beautiful birds and the beautiful, fog-covered valley.

The girls got to ride the horses, even by themselves! They did really well. I did videotape it, and maybe Sam's camera has pictures. It made him REALLY nervous :)
