carcass. 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
