It's A Wonderland: 2009 in Pictures... the final instalment.

Here is the final instalment of my year in pictures. I am not the greatest photographer, or the most dedicated one, so here is as many of the important events that occurred throughout the months following February. We celebrated many birthdays, a couple of big ones and also played tourist and tour guide to friends visiting from overseas and mainland Australia.

We had a weekend in Melbourne to celebrate my sister's 21st Birthday. We went shopping at our favourite cosmetics and clothing stores

We also had an evening at Cirque Du Soliel (no pictures sorry), followed by a day at the Melbourne Zoo with our extended family and a delicious picnic.

We saw all of our favourite animals and loved watching our young cousins having a fabulous time.

The 21st celebrations carried on for well over a week, with a family dinner in which we gorged on a deathly rich chocolate cake (we carefully transported the plaque home from Melbourne!)

A great party followed a few days later

Where there was another fabulous cake made by one of her dear friends.

We had a day out at a Bonorong Park, a local wildlife park with a new friend who was visiting from the United States. We loved the Kangaroos and the Tasmanian Devils are actually kind of cute when they are not fighting!

They are not the most attractive little animals.

Kangaroos roam freely around the park and visitors are allowed to touch and feed them pellets. There were a few with joeys hiding in their pouches and we were lucky to see this little one hop out to stretch it's legs and then get back inside it's Mum's cosy pouch.
