On Saturday we took three Brazilian Rotary Youth Exchange students to Ballarat Wildlife Park to see our native animals. Rayssa, Jordana and Lorena loved the animals, particularly the kangaroos which were keen to feed from our hands and were not frightened of people. I hope that you enjoy some of the photos we took. Can you match the animals to their names? Wedge tailed Eagle, Tasmanian Devil, Perentie, Frill-necked lizard, Saltwater Crocodile, young Kangaroo (joey), Freshwater Crocodile.
I was born in Bendigio, Victoria, Australia and attended a 13 student Rural School, Muskerry East Primary. I was a boarder at Girton CEGGS in Bendigo for my seconday Schooling.I trained at Bendigo and Coburg Teachers Colleges before beginning teaching in Melbourne in 1975. I taught a variety of Primary classes before beginning Art teaching in 1986. I am currently in my 26th year of teaching Visual Arts and my 24th year at Taylors Lakes Primary School which is in outer north-west Melbourne, Australia. I am married with three children and outside teaching am a keen member of Rotary International. Besides my passion for Art I have keen interests in photography, travel and in Learning Technologies.
