Day 1 was Monato Wildlife Something, maybe it is a zoo, they kept calling it a zoo, where they keep some species, that are endangered, and others that are not, but are probably rare, or in danger of being endangered, they also breed some for being released back to the wild, all of them were exotic: Mongolian Wild Horse, giraffes, cheetahs, bison, orix, painted dogs, antelopes, things like gazelles, ostriches, and merecats. there was one place where there was an emu, and it looked like it was trying to talk to the ostriches. they had some bilbies thatr are part of the captive breeding program, and more out the back.

Dusk: we went on a dusk walk at Warrawong Sanctuary, saw kangaroos, wallabies, ducks, whoilies, numbats, bandicoots, and potaroos, a whoily is like a wallaby, and a euro is another name for a wallaby, this place was the most natural place, none of the animals were in separate enclosures from each other, but then there were no predators

Day 2 - Morning was the geological monument of Hallet Cove, i could have spent all day there looking at the glacial sediments, and the round smooth pebbles on the beach, and all the seaweed and sponges, and shells, or just standing up against the huge cliff, there was also a glacial pavement here, which i have never seen

Afternoon went to Cleland Wildlife something, and i saw, oh too many animals, and birds, ones i haven't seen before, different snakes like a death adder, tasmanian devil, regent parrots, diamond firetail (like a finch), Cape Barren Geese, and there were just so many animals and birds, i could have spend all day there too, we were only there for about an hour, but i could have spend all day there too

Day 3 - Morning went to the Mangrove Forest at St. Kilda, which reminded me a little bit of Brisbane but there were many many more mangroves, and much healthier, and there was a 1.7 km boardwalk through the mangrove, we did a lot of walking on this field trip

Afternoon we went up Waterfall Gully, which is on the other side of the Cleland Sanctuary, this reminded me of the trek up and down Cedar Creek with Troy, Richard launched off the beaten track, for some other little track through these little bamboo tents that he said he used as a boy(!), and i was surprised to find out that Waterfall Gully is a Rainforest habitat, because it is in South Australia

Thursday (today) we went back to Monato, and looked through the Recovery Program, which is where they take native animals which are confiscated, like being smuggled out of the country, or where in a domestic situation but can no longer be cared for, they had major mitchells, tawny frogmouthed owls, bobooks, (never seen them before), a wombat, a tasmanian devil, and two huge goannas. they also house the bilbies from Monato breeding progam, so there is a lot of networking going on between the wildlife places in South Australia
