Melton youngsters cuddled an Aussie wildlife icon last Friday.

As part of World Environment Day celebrations, mobile zoo Wild Action was at Melton library to “share the beauty and intrigue of our local wildlife”.

Children learned about the furry, feathered and scaly creatures that call Australia home.
