4/8/14 - Featherdale Wildlife Park and Foodie Tour

Today we visited the Featherdale Wildlife Park. We were looking forward to this because although we had seen animals in the "wild" we hadn't seen all of them. We were able to feed kangaroos and wallabies. You could hold koalas, have birds perch on your hand, and view a baby Kangaroo (joey) in the mom's pouch. Feeding a Kangaroo/Wallaby is like having a small pony eating out of your hands, soft lips and very gentle.

The different areas of the Park included: farmland, reptile pavilion, dingo (dog) area, Koala, Big Birds (Emu, Pelican, Cassowary, Tasmanian Devils, Nocturnal house and a baby area. The Tasmanian Devil ran around in a circular fenced in area so fast it was hard to get a good photo!

We could have stayed here a while longer, but that's the way of a tour.
We traveled back to the Sidney city center to have a foodie tour, which focused on the immigrants to Sydney.  We also sang Waltzing Matilda! 

We stopped at four places: P.R. Rainer Deli - an Italian deli, Sydney Fish Market, Harry's Cafe de Wheels (Tiger Meat Pie) and the Old Fitzroy Hotel which is a 150 year old pub.

The evening was free and we went to purchase a small carry-on suitcase as our backpack had completely fallen apart.
