Today I went to Sydney's #1 tourist attraction: Sydney Wildlife World. This world, located in Darling Harbor, houses many of Australia's most famous, dangerous and adorable creatures that roam this vast continent. I went with Aubrey (Sara was at work) and Stephanie, who arrived to Sydney around the same time as I did from Atlanta, GA. She went to high school with a girl who used to work at Google with a girl who I used to work at Yale with. A friend of a friend of a friend is a friend to me! And the three of us ventured to discover what lied on the other side of the Sydney Wildlife walls. To be honest, it wasn't all that thrilling. It was actually a bit disappointing, and in my opinion not worth the $35.99 adults have to pay to enter. Not a whole lot behind those walls. Fortunately, I had a free-entry pass from IEP so I don't feel like I wasted my money. But don't think that you are wasting you're time reading this! I ensure you that you will enjoy the photos below. Buckle up, because here we go:
SNAKES: This is one of the worlds most venomous snakes. I took a photos of all the deadly snakes so that if I spot one I know to run for my life.
LIZARDS: A cool little guy.
CROCODILE: One of the largest in the world, and in my opinion the scariest creature that roams the earth. Keep that guy away from me, please!
KOALAS: Are beyond adorable. These were hands-down my favorite! Koala's are just the coolest fellows. I am seriously gushing right now, I can't even take it. Look at them! How can you not love them to itty-bitty pieces? I want one. I want a pet Koala. Little girls grow up dreaming of having a pony, but this girl wants a Koala (Mom & Dad, Christmas present?)

FUN FACT: Koalas have two thumbs! |

Just Chillen On A Tree
KANGAROOS: These dudes are too cool for school. Too cool to get off their bums and hop around a bit! Just another day lounging around at Wildlife World. I don't think my Australia experience will be complete if I don't see a hopping kangaroo.
CASSOWARY: A crazy looking bird, huh? It looks like a cross between a dinosaur, a turkey and a peacock. This guy is bad to the bone.

BUTTERFLY: The live butterfly display was closed for repair (frown face), but this display was still lovely too look at. The more color, the better!

GREAT pictures, Sarah! Loved the koala bears. Just love reading about all of you Aussie adventures and the people you are meeting. Love reading about the places you visit and about the ordinary day-to-day stuff like grocery shopping or your apt. Thanks so much for taking the time to write this blog and for including so many amazing pictures! Love you! xxoo Mom
Hi Sarah,
I read over a week's worth of your journal just now. WE've been away at Rhode Island. Just wanted to tell you how much I've been enjoying your blog. It makes me feel like I'm talking to you. You are a great writer and the pictures are great.
Love, Marilyn
Hey Sarah;
