Kelly and Fiona (keeper)

Joanna sweeping away... you can see the area that we have to cover!!

Kelly at the Kangaroo's den... its freaking hot and sweaty but its just not obvious here

wearing rubber boots and using the rack to sweep up leaves and roo's poo.. the pile is much smaller as this is in the den... you should have seen the bins of leaves and poo we swept!!!!
