I had already been to on a bus tour to the Featherdale Wildlife Park and the Blue Mountains, but this time we decided to take the train!
After about an hour or so of travel we arrived at the Wildlife Park.
This park had a great area where we were able to walk through and see the kangaroos.
I bonded with this one.. actually I think he really just liked the food we bought for them.
Close-up!
Sarah Beth was a little bit more timid around the kangaroos..
The zoos in Sydney were not allowed to have exhibits where you can touch the koalas. However, since Featherdale was outside of Sydney, we actually got to walk right up to them and touch them!
Finally we hopped back on the train heading up to the Blue Mountains. After about two hours of travel we jumped off the train and thought we were there.... but found out that we still had another hour to go. That was alright though because we were able to console ourselves with some Australian ice cream while we waited to get back on the train.
Finally we got to the Blue Mountains!
This time there were these random parrots that climbed all over us. Sarah Beth was scared to death of them, it was hilarious. I liked them though!
We also met up with this lovely couple that Sarah Beth is posing with and decided to take the train-ride down the mountain instead of walking down. Everyone looks happy enough to begin with...
... but they soon realized that the ride was a little bit scarier than they thought it would be! I had done it before so I had my camera ready! The one man looks especially concerned.
The mountains still looked blue the second time around!
It was growing dark fast and we didn't realize how long it took us to get there, so we ended up getting back to my house pretty late.
