Being an island, a huge one, Australia has some unique wildlife not found anywhere else in the world. This was a part of the trip that I really enjoyed. Australians do such a wonderful job of loving their animals and fish...and we got to see it all!
We spent one morning at the Aquarium, taking our time to learn about all the interesting sea creatures and checking out the scary sharks! But don't be fooled, the sharks are not the deadliest animal in the Australian seas, it's the
Box Jellyfish and happens to be in the top 5 most deadly species in the world!

Headed to Australia, all I could think about was that I was going to get to see a real live kangaroo! We decided to go to the
Featherdale Wildlife Park instead of the zoo because ...well just take a look below... we got to actually touch the kangaroos and feed them! They were free to roam!

As an aussie, I am glad you came and enjoyed Australia. Do come back sometime.
We do have a strange sense of humor.
For example, if you want to see a kangaroo just drive west from Sydney at dusk - once out in the bush you can run into one in your car. Be careful though as as well as half killing the poor animal it can destroy the car and those therein.
