Featherdale wildlife park

as part of our plan to do more with boo before baby #2 arrives, we took him to Featherdale wildlife park. Jim scored a good deal on scoopon, instead of the usual $29 per ticket, we paid $28 for all our tickets (entrance for boo is free). 

the park started off pretty good. as we walked in, we were greeted with wallabies and we got to feed them too. boo was not keen to get out of his stroller because he doesn't like unpaved ground, especially one covered in animal poos but as we spotted a little joey in its mother's pouch, he was distracted and forgot all about the poos and unpaved ground.  

after that, we got to pet a owl like looking bird which i've forgotten the name followed by a koala. boo was very excited when we got to the wombats enclosure. 

most of the wildlife are Australia natives like the Tasmanian devil, kangaroos, emu, echidnas . there's also a farmyard nursery with bunnies, chickens, pigs, sheeps and guinea pig. as we continued to explore the rest of the park, we realised a lot of the enclosure are repeats of the animals we've seen in the other parts of the part and there are multiple enclosures of the same wildlife. we have only arrived less than an hour ago. 

all in all, i think boo had an enjoyable time at the park. whilst the park is nothing like Taronga Zoo, at least he got to see and learn about most of the native animals. 

next up, we wanna take him to either Taronga Zoo or the Sydney Aquarium.
