Friday! By far the best day! We went to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast. It was a wonderful day!! The place is similar to a zoo, but they only have animals that are native to Australia. We started the morning out by meeting a blue-tongued lizard, a possom that is found in Australia, and a snake (all of which we were allowed to pet). The snake was so soft and cold!! We weren't allowed to hold it because there were too many of us and it would scare the poor thing. It was still fun to be able to touch it.
After the little presentation, we were just able to walk around and explore. The next animal we saw was a koala! They are so adorable. Most of them were sleeping, but once in a while one would get active. We saw many more animals native to Australia including: Tasmanian devils, turtles, crocodiles, dingoes, frogs, wombats, wallabies, and of course kangaroos. All of the animals were very interesting and we had a blast exploring, but the best part of the zoo was the kangaroos.
We could actually go into the cage with the kangaroos, feed them and pet them. There were so many and they were all different. We saw a mama kangaroo with a joey in her pouch, a joey that was just big enough to be out of the pouch and many more sizes and ages. At the end of the day we had to make one last stop at the kangaroos. When we arrived it was feeding time so all the kangaroos were down by the food and there were a ton. We fed some more and we even saw a couple bunch each other. They must have been really hungry.
It was such a great day! We were all exhausted so we took a nap on the way home. When we returned we made some dinner and then sat around talking for a long time.
