In the morning, Ho Keung, Yin Ping, Connie, Philip, Yuen Siu and I went to Tobruk Sheep Station. A shepherd had started the demonstration of baking Damper. We were served with bread and milk tea . Next he demonstrated how he reared his sheep with the help of his two sheep dogs.
Following this, he went on demonstrating how to shear the wool of a sheep. When the demonstrations were over, another man at the station taught us how to play the boomerang. Philip and Ho Keung were the best two who could swing the boomerang in a circular track. Soon it was time to say good-bye to the owner of the Station who was very kind indeed.
We left and went to Fagan Park to have a picnic lunch on gentle sloping grass lawn. The trouble always came from the flies there. We had to wave them away from our food. Hopefully we did not them as well in our sandwiches!
We rushed to Koala Park because it was near the feeding time of the koalas. We were happy to see Loretta and Kenny dropped by to say “hello” to us. Inside the park, we found very lovely koalas, an emu, penguins and kangaroos.
I was happy in feeding a kangaroo. We encountered an elegantly beautiful peacock. Ho Keung hand-fed it. Before leaving the park, I bought souvenirs of a magnet and a cake of soap. We had dinner at Castle Hill and in the night time we packed our luggage, ready to leave the next day.

We are grateful for another day of good weather as it is the second last day of your stay in Australia. Time just flies, isn't it.
The picture shows this man riding his horse among all these really silly sheep. No wonder the Bible said, " We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him ( Jesus ) the iniquity of us all. ( Isaiah 53:6 ).
The damper is quite yummy. We have morning tea with the busload of SENIOR CITIZENS. If God allows, one day we will look like them! OK, stop, turn our attention to the smart horses and the loyal sheep dogs instead. Look at them carry out their duties
with no complaint.
The sheep, who is being undressed in front of us, is so cute, so stubborn (kept pushing through the door )and so innocent looking. Wonder what is inside a sheep's brain. Anyway he/she makes us laugh.
It's cool to be so near to the koalas, kangaroos, emus, penguins, wombat ,peacocks, cockatoo, dingo and echinas. What an experience! Even the peacock is willing to be hand fed. What a trust!
It is especially nice to share all these with you guys, shared happiness doubles the happiness.
Just let you know that we have a good time and enjoy your company very much.
It is so good to catch up with each other and share our thoughts.
At last Philip and Connie can have home-cook dinner after all these days!
