More Sydney

Sorry for the long delay with no posts. The places I have been staying lately haven’t had wifi good enough to upload pictures. 

On my third day in Sydney, I went with Conny to Featherdale Wildlife Park. We saw koala bears, wallabies, kangaroos, emus, wombats, echidnas, dingos, a crocodile, and tons of native birds. It was cool to see all the animals and I especially liked petting the tame wallabies, but, as usual when I visit a zoo, I found it troubling too. Some of the enclosures were very small, and I was worried about the kangaroos and wallabies getting food from guests that was given to them in ice cream cones, which certainly seems like it would be junk food for them. In the evening I cooked dinner with my friends Conny, Eeva, and India and we hung out on the hostel’s roof deck which has a beautiful view of the harbor.
For my last full day in Sydney, I went for a walk on the harbor bridge, visited the State Library of New South Wales, and walked in the botanical gardens. Eeva and I had dinner together and played some Scrabble and Scattergories. And we tried Vegemite!! It was very salty. I enjoyed Sydney and especially liked spending time with the nice friends I made in my hostel 🙂

Chill kangaroo.
This is an echidna! I have wanted to see one ever since my college boyfriend went to Australia and brought me back a little figurine of one. It was so dopey looking when it walked!
I got to meet this sleepy koala!
There were adorable tame wallabies everywhere and several of them had little babies in their pouches!

KANGAROO SELFIE!!

The beautiful jacaranda trees were in bloom all over Sydney.
