Animals in Mareeba

While Libby's mum was here we spent a week house sitting for a MAF family in Mareeba. For a pet-less household like ours, it was quite exciting...

Reepicheep the Golden Lab
Geoffrey the Bearded Dragon
The Unnamed Budgie
The Big Tank of Fish
The Small Tank of Fish
Vanessa the Guinea Pig
(NB. We were not advised of the guinea pig's name, so we named it Vanessa after a guinea pig we babysat while in Kenya. This was amended to Vincent upon closer inspection...)

Ruben's favourites - the chickens (or 'chooks' as they call them here)

And an additional visitor who we found in a flower tub...

Butterflies

On the way up to Mareeba we stopped off at the Butterfly Sanctuary in Kuranda. Lots of butterflies...
