Monotremes and Marsupials

Time for a lunch break at the museum. The veggie pasty is hot, so I'm eating the ice cream first. :-)

This morning I visited the ground floor of the museum, exploring the geological, zoological, and aboriginal sections.

Garnets.

There was a neat exhibition with local animals, even an extinct Tazmanian tiger. Maybe I should have named this blog kangaroo fortnight. . . Here I am with another kangaroo.

I didn't take any photos of First Peoples section, but I may have enjoyed that the most. Imagine a culture 2000 generations old. Refreshed now, I think I'll find out what's upstairs.
