    Proud papa

    Tonight at dinner time, my daughter, who is a high school senior says

    "Dad, I know what I want to do when I graduate.

    I'm going to move to Australia where I'm going to create a wildlife preserve where I can hang around in a hammock with baby koalas."

    Brought a tear to my eye !

    She was probably half joking, but here you go:

    http://www.koalahospital.org.au/supp...tal-volunteers

    There's info on that page for overseas volunteers. It's a nice town - my sister and mum live there.

    Hopefully there are still some baby koalas left for her to protect.. I would not want to hang unser a eucalyptus tree as they are bad for dropping (big) branches.
    I am still 18 but with 52 years of experience !
