In Australia The bilby is an endangered animal. to raise awarness for bilby protection there has been a move to use native animals as easter icons instead of rabbits. You can still get chocolate rabbits but i like the easter bilby and easter wombat. Look I think that wombat has done an ester poo. eeewewww!!!!!

I'd never even heard of a bilby before.

I'm a bilby; I'm a bilby
If I'm not dead now, I very soon will be
I'm a bilby; I'm a bilby
A long-eared bandicoot!

The penster has been to Wagga Wagga with us for easter. We consider a stop in Wagga Wagga madatory for all international visitors.

Penny tells me she would like to be moving along and wants to go visit with Dlowan.

I have suggested she fly rather than travel by post as its a long way. I'm not sure if she is all that thrilled by this idea, but, intrepid little traveling hamster she is she gave it a shot.

Yikes...

Wagga - you really know how to show a girl a good time.

My family comes from down there. My uncle was the town drunk (and may still be - but he'd be pretty old by now!)

Catching up on Penny's adventures... looks like she's having way too much fun!!

Is she still mid-air or has she arrived at Dlowan's?

Love all the photos, but the easter bilby and easter wombat are particularly delicious (er...)

No hamsters here, and today is Friday, the last of my few days off, so she most probably was posted too late for me to pick her up easily.

Unfortunately, the most likely scenario is that they attempt to deliver her today.....and won't be able to.


They then drop her at my local Post Office, and the parcel contractor leaves a card telling me to go there.


Unfortunately, this is a PO which does not open on Saturdays.

The options are I find time at work to make enough fuss to force them to move her to a PO which DOES open on Saturdays, or I wait until such time as I can be at work late enough to give me time to pick her up.


Both scenarios leave Penny stuck in a Post Office for at least a week....possibly more.

I'd hoped I might see the card when I got home yesterday, because I got here early enough to go and pick her up.


Ah well.


I guess Penny has no email facilities in her parcel?

Not that I'm aware of...

But I do know she's an exceedingly patient hamster and has spent more time than a week in a parcel with no ill effects (took an awful long time to get to margo). No rush, no hurry, no worries.

The PO delivered penny's parcel to my letterbox. I did not have to go and pick her up.

Perhaps the SA PO will do the same.

She won't fit through the hole....and they can't just leave 'em in the street.


They DO do lifts if someone happens to be around who will let them in....occasionally they'll leave parcels outside my door.

You could just leave a door unlocked and leave a note to the postman...

The postie has first to be allowed in the card controlled outer doors to the building.


The odds suck.
