If animals could talk... or read...

While we over in Adelaide a week or so ago, we couldn't resist heading into the hills and visiting the Gorge Wildlife Park.

Having lived in Adelaide previously, and being a frequent visitor to the park, it was a place I thought about whilst writing the book. Visitors are free to mingle with, and feed, many of the native Australian animals, and I often wondered what they would say if they had the chance to speak to us. I suppose that's part of the catalyst for my story - talking animals, interacting with humans. At least the Swamp Wallabies in the photograph appeared interested in the book... but having said that, they were probably more interested in eating the peanuts and biscuits offered to them! :)
