Something about Animals



Call it inevitable, but Kyla managed to snap (quite) a few more pics of the wombats at the RSPCA. Max and Harry have been emerging from their burrow every weekend and, in between bouts of climbing on each other to get to the tasty grub, posing for a few candid snaps.

Not merely satisfied to volunteer her time, Kyla has started conscripting an army of domestiques to help her raise money during the annual RSPCA Cupcake Day fundraiser this August.



In a similar vein, we headed out on a glorious Sunday a few weeks past to take part in the other annual RSPCA fundraiser, the Million Paws walk. The official stats are: 3500+ dogs, 9000+ humans. It's always a reminder of how much of Canberra's population lives in the suburbs when you see the crush of people decend upon the city centre for an event like this.



That was one of the last nice weekends we had in Canberra before the winter really set in, which has inspired us to plan our first escape to "The Snow". Yes, it's so revered down under that it has been assigned a proper noun, much like "The Tennis" and "Big Things", both of which we also hope to see in the future.
