We should have visited this park when we first arrived. It was pretty affordable ($58) for a family of 6 and it only cost us about $25 for public transportation. This was much better than Sydney Wildlife World! They had a lot of animals just roaming around the walkways which was great for the kids. I think the places in downtown Sydney are for city people that don't like to touch anything. We even got poo on our shoes at this park. Made us feel right at home! I really have not been looking forward to going home to the states and back to the farm with our load of responsibilities so I was a bit surprised when we entered the children's petting area to feel a bit homesick for our animals. Marra loved the little goat and did not want to leave her. Emma loved the gray kangaroos (really soft). Tessa really enjoyed the emu's and Hanna loved all the colorful birds and the reptile area. It was nice that we got to take pictures of the koalas up close and it didn't cost us $20 but we have to admit that koalas really don't have much personality. They sleep around 20 hours a day! It was really exciting to see the Tasmanian Devil, which are becoming less common. My favorites are the kangaroos and wallabies. It was great to see the baby wallaby (which is almost as big as it's mum) nursing. Extended nursing is common even in the animal world!

That place looks great! I love that pic with Hanna and the....Emu? What kind of bird is that?? LOL
Yes, that's an emu. The girls thought they were great but a bit intimidating.
That looks like fun place! I haven't checked in in a while, so I've been reading all of your updates and looking at your pictures (had to LOL about the dead mom and baby collections in the children's museum. How charming for the young visitors! And the "bad Barbie" post too, that was priceless!)
