While I love spending the day at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary at any time of the year, I particularly enjoy it when the weather is cooler but the sun is still shining brightly. Case in point: this beautiful day in late August when my father & I decided to spend the morning among Australian native animals & fragrant eucalyptus plants while walking the newly created "Nocturnal Night Animal" trail (apparently also tremendous "after dark" with a special booking through the website, just fyi) before heading over to the kiosk for some crunchy hot chips & a visit with my absolutely favourites - the koalas - before trundling home. For the occasion, I'm wearing a funky autumnal floral jacquard knee-length pinafore with oversized buttons from cult label Gorman, styled up with a white linen prairie style top with smocking & ruffles from Princess Highway beneath, a pair of mustard suede & vulcanised rubber sneakers from Converse for the ideal fusion of comfort & style, white cotton bobby socks from Target & a tan faux suede/vinyl crossbody bag from the Lone Pine Gift Shop that I picked up on a previous visit to carry all my essentials while keeping my hands free.

I've been mugged!
Here's the culprit: a cheeky kookaburra still holding the evidence!
Curlew wants to come in...
