Sydney Day 3 - Sydney Wildlife World...

We headed to the Sydney Wildlife World after our visit to the Aquarium since they are just side by side...

Outside the Wildlife World. Mommy is still wondering (skeptical would be a better word) how on earth a wildlife park can be in an enclosed building and located right on Darling Harbour?? This we gotta see!

Picture with the Koala...

Picture with the Butterflies...

What's up? Why is the Kanga pushing my stroller?

The various invertebrates on display...

Check out their expression!

Seems like they are very interested in the creatures...

The Beetle...

A GIGANTIC Moth...

Pretty butterflies which we will see later...

The wings of the butterfly being MAGNIFIED two thousand times!

A poster describing how the bee makes honey. There was an exhibit of it too but the photo didn't turn out nice due to the poor lighting...

Ants' Nest...

A very nice spider web...

Sinister looking spiders!

Slimy slimy Snake...

Frilled Lizard! Its large frill of skin around its neck can erect to make itself look bigger to its predators! Entering the world of lizards...Mommy's most hated!


Lil' Angel looking at the real thing...

The lizard is going to do his Puffy act soon!

Another lizard...

Lil' Angel spotted...

A Bird!

Scheming looking Lizard...


Green Lizard lazing on a tree branch...

Spiky Lizards. As you must have realised by now that I am making up the names of some of these lizards as I don't know their actual names!

The Perentie...its the largest lizard in Australia...

End of Lizards. Now to see the birds...

The Puffin...

What's up there?

It's the Kookaburra!

Now to head to the rooftop to see the kangaroos, koalas and wombats! It's a tad hot out here!

Mommy...let's get back into the air-conditioned area...it's too hot out here!

I need a drink...

Lil' Angel sticking her head out of the hole in the tree trunk...

Lil' Angel looking at the Kangaroos from the comfort of the air conditioned room...

Looks like a pretty old Kanga...

Drawings in the cave...

Looking out of the window in the cave...

Look Mommy...there are more Kangaroos here...

And there!

Out of the blue...Lil' Angel decided to just fall on the ground and pretended to be upset!

Pretending to kick up a fuss! Haha! Crazy Lil' Angel...

Hi, could you please get off?

NOW...now...NOW!!!

Haha...now I can sit on the Froggy!

Oh Look...the Wombat...

Hello Wombat...

He's cute...

Next...the Koalas!

Oh goody...finally some Koalas which are awake in the day!

Koala coming down...

And climbing up...

Lil' Angel comparing her hands with the Koala's...

Next...to see the Cassowary...the most dangerous bird...

Hey Birdie...you don't look very dangerous to me...

Come, let me give you a Kiss!

The real bird is coming...

Heh heh...Who's afraid of the Birdie?

A pair of funny looking birds...

Now to the Butterfly Aviary...

So many different species!

This is how butterflies flutter, Caitlyn...

Like this, Mommy?
It's Mommy's first time touching a snake!!! Lil' Angel didn't dare to...

At the souvenir shop...we spotted the cutest Koala!

As well as the cutest Kanga!

Close up view of the two cutest marsupials!

Haha...Mommy likes to act cute!

The weather is turning cold after our visit to the Wildlife World...


We walked over to Darling Harbour...

That's Darling Harbour in the background!

Overall, the enclosed Wildlife World was okay. I still prefer the real thing...seeing the animals in the open and touching them. It's just weird to see them through glass panels and us in the air conditioned area.
