LAST DAY IN SYDNEY: KOALA PARK
































The very last destination of my visit to Sydney was the Koala Park. The animal sanctuary was not that big and it had a small collection of local Australian animals. The main attractions here would be the koalas and penguins. There was a petting session with the koalas and feeding session with the penguins. And during my last day in Australia, I finally touched and petted a real koala. These animals are really cute, I don't mind taking back home one. Actually, they are not tame as the ones we saw in the sanctuary. In the wild, koalas are wild and aggressive. So never ever judge a book by its cover.

9th JUNE - 4th DAY MELBOURNE (PART 2)



From Sovereign Hill, we walked to the Wildlife Park. At this time the temperature had dropped to 5 C which was freezing cold for me. With the rain and the cold wind, we also experienced hail stone luckily it stopped just after a few seconds, if not I would not be able to see those animals originated from Australia.

Pics with koala can only be taken from a distance. If you wish for a close-up shoot, then you have to pay for it.

A wombat is just like a mouse, except it is much bigger and hairier. And the main attraction here is meet the kangaroos session. After buying a packet of food, you could feed as many kangaroos as you wanted. When we were there, there were no other visitors so the animals came running to us, which made it a bit scary. They were quite tame but too many kangaroos around would not be too good.

nice kangaroo, nice...


can you see a baby kangaroo in the pouch?
