Featherdale Wildlife Sanctuary

We visited the Featherdale Wildlife Sanctuary on the way back to Sydney from the Blue Mountains. It was a small zoo that allowed “cuddling with koalas”.

Amy finally gets her chance to cuddle her koala.

Yes koalas are cute from a distance, but they have long claws and kind of smell. How cute!!!









A BIG crock! She's a beauty!!

Australian dingoes

After petting the small wallaby's for awhile, we ran into this big red kangaroo. When it stood up straight, I looked eye to eye with it. At first I was just stunned, and then Amy said “get a picture of it”. It posed for a second and let me take this picture, and then it hopped off. This picture does not do it justice. A minute later three zoo keepers came running thru looking for it; apparently it had escaped from its enclosure.
