Featherdale Wildlife Park

On my way back from Katoomba to Sydney I stopped at a place called Featherdale Wildlife Park, which had tons of animals native to Australia. Specifically, koala bears, kangaroos, wallabees, saltwater crocodiles, dingoes, wombats, tasmanian devils, and tons of native birds and reptiles. Here are some pictures:

It's illegal to actually hold a koala bear in Sydney and the surrounding cities, so this is the closest you can get.

 I learned that koala bears are rare in the animal world in that their brains are much smaller than their heads. All day they stay up high in the eucalyptus trees sleeping and eating the leaves of the trees they call home. Consequently, they are considered one of the dumbest animals on the planet.
