Why is it that so many Australian native animals have names that start with K??
Monday I decided to fight the jetlag by spending as much time outside as possible. At about noon I was able to get into my room, and then I headed out to the Featherdale Wildlife Park in a Syndney suburb, which required taking a train and a bus. (On the train, I did happen to pass the Deloitte office in Parramatta -- I'll post the photo to "Deloitte Around the World" on my Facebook page.)
Several people recommended Featherdale instead of the zoo because you have the opportunity to get up close to the animals -- including a koala. (His name was Pebbles.) They also have kangaroos, wallabies, peacocks and various other birds just roaming around, which is pretty cool! I did find one wallaby that was either tame enough or tired and hot enough that he let me pet him.
Side note -- there are many advantages of traveling alone, but one DISadvantage is that you always have to find someone else to take your picture! So far, I've been pretty successful.
