Thursday was Blue Mountains day. We got picked up by the shuttle a little before 8:00 AM. The shuttle took us to catch the bus. First stop was Featherdale Park, a zoo/wildlife

sanctuary. The kangaroos here were the best I had seen. They were up and active and very comfortable around people. We got to see a joey in his mother’s pouch and another one nursing. I saw a little of the inside of a pouch and it is not a pretty sight, kind of like watching a child birth video. We got to see koalas up close too and pose

by them. We also got to watch a crocodile feeding. The crocodile checked out the offerings, but wasn’t interested enough t

o go after it. Featherdale is fairly small and out of the way, but provides the opportunity to get up close and even touch many of the animals.
