G’day from Melbourne, Australia<\/span><\/h3>\n

to Mrs O’s AM Kindergarten Class <\/span>in Calgary.<\/span><\/h3>\n

I heard<\/span> <\/span>about your project on endangered species!<\/span><\/b><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Dear Wren, <\/span><\/i><\/span>You will know me from http:\/\/aslongasyouhaveagarden.blogspot.com.au<\/a><\/span><\/i>
My grandson’s kindergarten class is doing a unit on endangered species. The teacher is trying to get postcards sent to the school from all over the world with a short message about endangered species in the specific country. Would you be willing to send one? Here is the address just in case.<\/span><\/i><\/span>

<\/span><\/i><\/span>
<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

So how could I resist?<\/span><\/div>\n
Here is the card I have sent you.<\/span><\/div>\n
It is a little joey kangaroo inside his mother’s pouch<\/span><\/div>\n
He looks a little cross don’t you think?<\/span><\/div>\n


<\/span><\/i><\/span>
<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I think the card will take a little time to get to you… <\/span>
We are 8628 Miles (13885.42Km) apart.<\/span>
The quickest flight on an airplane will take 21 hours.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

Australia is home to some unique critters,
but it also has one of the highest extinction rates in the world.<\/span><\/h3>\n
I found some more information on Australian Geographic<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
I said I would show you some of my photos of Australian animals.<\/span>
I wondered how many you know about?<\/span>

<\/span>The first I have chosen is a parrot.<\/span>
He is not like the orange bellied parrot shown on <\/span>
Australian Geographic, one of our most endangered species.<\/span>
He was very friendly and happy to eat seed from our hands<\/span>
at Healesville Sanctuary.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Whilst we were at Healesville, we had a close encounter<\/span><\/div>\n
with <\/span>Benny, the Koala. <\/span><\/div>\n
He was very relaxed as you can see<\/span><\/div>\n
lying amongst the eucalyptus branches!<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We love Koala’s but they are a bit sleepy!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Sadly I don’t often get to see Koalas in the wild.<\/span><\/div>\n
Whilst they are not listed as endangered,<\/span><\/div>\n
Australia Zoo<\/a> says koalas are critically threatened.<\/span><\/div>\n
 We have lost 80% <\/span>of our koala habitat since European settlement.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
Here is a common womat in the wild.<\/span><\/div>\n
We will regularly see wombats snuffling through the undergrowth <\/span><\/div>\n
when out walking.<\/span><\/div>\n
They are my favourite Aussie animals!<\/span><\/div>\n
They are big lumbering critters.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
The Northern Hairy-nosed wombat<\/a> is in danger of extinction. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n
<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/i><\/span><\/span>The Echidna is not considered an endangered species<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

But I rather like his style<\/span><\/div>\n
and long claws!<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Thank you for visiting me Down Under!<\/span>
I hope you have fun learning about other <\/span>
endangered<\/span> species around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

To my regular readers <\/i><\/span><\/span>
thank you for visiting and I will be back with you soon!<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
Linking with Saturday Critters<\/a><\/div>\n
Thanks Eileen!<\/div>\n
