Humans are often encouraged not to feed pigeons but this wallaby obviously didn't get the memo.

And as she held out her ice cream cone full of food, a cute little Joey peeked out from her mother's pouch.

Ms Cameron has travelled and photographed wildlife across Europe and South Africa, but her favourite spot remains the animal park, which is only ten minutes away from her home.



'I always come back with so many photos which I look at on a regular basis and relive my wonderful experiences,' she said.



'When I take visitors to the animal park, they're always excited to see some of Australia's native animals up close.

Ms Cameron added: 'I love taking photos and it gives me great pleasure to know that people find my photos interesting and diverse.'
