Lunch time at the Reptile Park

Australian Brush Turkey

Australian Brush Turkey

During our recent family visit to the Australian Reptile Park near Gosford north of Sydney, we had some interesting lunch companions. In the very well appointed picnic grounds several Australian Brush Turkeys moved amongst the picnickers picking up scraps. They didn’t come too near to us; they wouldn’t have been given any of our pies, potato chips or hot dogs – well, maybe the grandchildren might have been tempted to feed them.

Our other lunch time companions were far more daunting, if the photos below are any indication.

Thankfully they are only models of extinct species.
