Gorge Wildlife Park /// Adelaide Wildlife Photographer

Last Friday ended up being fantastic! My fiancĂ© finished work early and we decided to head up to Lobethal Bakery for some lunch (YUM!) and then go to Gorge Wildlife Park. As most of you know we have our favourite photographers, Scarlett and Stephen, coming all the way to Aus for our wedding next year. You might not know that Scarlett really wants to get the chance to hold a koala and Stephen wants to ride a kangaroo (don't think that will happen sorry Stephen). Anyway, we realised we should take them to Gorge Wildlife Park, then also realised that neither of us had actually been there since we were little kids! Hence the trip when we got the chance!

We got to the park, payed our admission and of course didn't skip buying the biscuits to feed the kangaroos! We walked into the kangaroo area, me with the camera glued to my face and as soon as they saw the biscuits they were practically jumping on top of us. Although it can be quite intimidating at first with this kangaroo coming straight up to you, you then realise how placid and laidback they are (so Aussie!). After a few attempts of them trying to eat the biscuits straight out of Tom's pocket we then moved on to the other animals. Here's a few photos from that day, if you get a chance be sure to head up there you won't regret it!




I love both the black and white and colour versions of this photo, so decided to share both!












Couldn't resist a few shots of the beautiful flowers around the gardens, can't wait for all the colours of Spring to arrive!




I loved the pattern on the side of this bench!


On our way home we stopped at this cafe quickly, this adorable dog was just sitting outside waiting for it's owner. Couldn't resist the adorable shot!
