19 October 2013
With a quiet weekend and nothing to do Karen and I headed along to Kelly Tarltons for an action packed afternoon looking at penguins, sharks, eels and crayfish. It was just as good as I remember when I was a kid except instead of jumping in the ice buggy for a ride around the penguins you can stop and look as long as you want.
