I felt into its pouch and came out with what everyone at the lodge told us was a ba by wallaby. A wallaby is a rel alive of the kangaroo, only ' much smalled. After we studied some animal pictures, we de cided the natives did not konw their own animals, because we had rescued a baby possum from Us mother's ouch. Possums there carry one baby in a pouch, instead of a litter on their back as our possums do. An Understanding Waitress The tiny fellow certainly needed care. His predicament was worked out nicely because I contacted n kind waitress at the lodge who adopted the squalling little creature. She made a bag-typo home with a hot water bottle in its bottom. She fed the tiny possum often from an eye dropper. He was very happy and growing OK when we left there. Another in teresting experience was walk ing up the road from the lake after dark and viewing the glow worms. Their lights twinkle and gleam like scenes of tiny fairy cities. About New Zealand's Fauna The only natural wild life on the New Zealand islands were bats and the Kiwi birds. Kiwi birds are wingless and don't fly. They were an easy prey for the natives who nearly exterminat ed them In cooking pots. Very few remain in the jungles and a scant few are in zoos. The bats remain and many other an imals, such as deer, elk, possum ine-s, we were I irtunate lo s"e i-r meander across the jungle i.id ahead of us one day. Live re.itures are much moie lM-uutiful and fascinating lo oh serve while iliey are enjoying f. II was a thrill to watch a ill.iliy dart and really travel on his lull and hind legs. Some iwun cruised the road in our car lights and moved like sal loping native hanger: Iliey seem about the .size and build of our badgers. Sora Interacting Sights Many purls of New Zealand are blessed wilh hoi geysers, lulling mud mls, colored ter races, boiling lakes, and other sights that remind one of Yel lowstone Park and its wonders. The uncleared Jungle land with its hundreds and hundreds of different varieties of trees, palms, ferns and other terrific plant life .seems to be loaded with all kinds of happy, sing ing birds. What a Joy lo look and lo listen lo nature In Its natural state. One wishing well. called Rainbow Spring, produces one million gallons of the clearest pring water each hour. There was so much force that the coins tossed in for good luck took quite awhile to float lo the but' torn or to slop on some ledge Want To Keep Traveling We had a great trip and such wonderful experiences. We hope o make many more trips. We feel the American Airline is wonderful: their courtesy and service is tops for pleasure fly ing. We returned home on Oct. 13.
