Australian Critters

So, after the marathon hike, we went back to the lodge for a shower and to cook a meal. Fred was minding his own business in the shower and a little spider (what we think is a huntsman -- don't be scared by the name, it is by no means lethal or even that dangerous to humans) came to join him in the shower.

Of course, all we heard was a scream and then Fred coming out soaking wet with just a towel on, encouraging us to come over an have a look. Priceless. Hence, the photo of mom. A couple hours later in the same washroom, dad came out for a look.

This is mom.


And, this is dad.


And, the next day we ate kangaroo. Only a bit gamey and well marinated. Was actually quite yummy on the bbq.
