The day after the Great Barrier Reef, we went to a place called the Rainforestation. In short it basically was a interactive petting zoo with kangaroos, koalas, lizards, and crocodiles.
when we got there we went on a tour and we got the chance to hold a snake (did NOT do that). and then we got to touch a lizard, i put my finger on it and then the most amazing thing happened. Kangaroos were hoping around the zoo and we got to feed them. we saw little baby joeys and we got to feed them and they were so sweet and fun to play with.
after that we met a crocodile named jack the ripper, and this thing is huge. like 14 feet big. it was scary to even see him in the water and i missed it, but they fed him the day we were there, and they feed him like once every week cause he ate so much. he had a few mates and he ate all of them (and these were female mates). instead of seeing jack the ripper fed we saw another croc fed and that was still awesome. they fed him chicken and they made him like jump for it like a whole bunch of times before they let him have it. Neille was able to get a video of it.
after that awesome sight, we did what i've wanted to do since i heard about coming to australia: hold a koala bear!! it was heavy and smelly, but it was worth it. and we also got free picture with it and it is going on my desk at home. i'm so exited!
after holding the koala, we went on a tank that was built by women 60 years ago. we went on another tour of the real rain forest that is still there. it was beautiful and amazing to see what is still out there.
pictures will come soon, i promise!
