Australia!

"Are you sure Joe-Joe, that these bags are the hippest in spring 2009?"
Now you think that I've seen the movie, but nope. I saw a documentary about Australia and found two things higly appealing; a kangaroo orphanage and some aboriginal art.

Well I love small animals of any sorts so my heart melted when I saw how the little kangaroo babies were taking care of. The nanny of the kangaroos takes a sack and holds it open. The baby kangaroos naturally like the idea of jumping in the bag and enthusiasticly they do so. Then the nurse keeps them near and the kangaroos really like it because that's the way they travel with their mothers.
The lower painting is done by Fred Ward Tjungurrayi, but I didn't get the maker of the first one. The lines and the colours are so childlike that I just can't resist liking them.
