	Summer school holidays, so off to the Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary outside Melbourne with my daughter and grandkids. With the devastating fires ablaze across Australia it was a relief to see native animals in a safe and unspoiled natural environment. I'll post progressively but here's a starter. All a99ii with SAL70400G2 SSM. C&C welcome. 1. Emu by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 2. Basically asleep all day and active at night. Koala asleep by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 3. Koala with food by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 4. Grey kangaroo by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 5. The critically endangered Helmeted Honey-eater is Victoria's official bird emblem, and exists only in a tiny population in a remote nature preserve that hopefully hasn't been affected by the ferocious bush-fires. It is being captive bred successfully at Healesville and the numbers are building to the point when a planned release into the wild isn't too far off. A very beautiful bird with those feathered tufts on the side of its head. Helmeted honey-eater close-up by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 6. Helmeted honey-eater by Joe Lewit, on Flickr More to follow...

	I can imagine that was a special experience under the devastating circumstances. A very nice series so far. #3 would have been my favourite if the focus had been just a bit further (on the closed eye). I love the #1 portrait and the honey eaters a lot as well. TFS and keep them coming!

	Thanks for the feedback. Continuing on: 7. Very slow shutter, very dim light = an impressionistic shot of a diving platypus. Platypus diving by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 8. This time more static on the surface, but still blurry. Platypus surfacing by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 9. Keeper's talk with a 17 year old male that was rescued from his burrow that was unearthed by a farmer digging a dam. The mother abandoned the site and the offspring so he was land reared at Healesville Wildlife Sanctuary. Apparently playful, loves human contact (with familiar keepers), including being patted and scratched behind his head. Platypus with keeper by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 10. A healthy pack of Tasmanian Devils lives and breeds at Healesville. The wild population in parts of Tasmania has been decimated by a cancerous facial tumor that seems to have arisen from the very small gene pool and cross infection through biting. Some of these healthy ones will be released to the Tasmanian wild in quarantined and isolated areas. Tasmanian Devil by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 11.

The natural habitat of this Glossy Black Cockatoo has been decimated in the recent fires and there are fears about its survival in the wild. Glossy black cockatoo by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 19. Same applies to the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo. Red-tailed black cockatoo by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 20. Red-tailed black cockatoo close-up by Joe Lewit, on Flickr 21.

It's reassuring that there are endangered species being captive bred at places like this, for future release into the wild when safe and sustainable natural environs have grown back and become viable.
