There is another, much larger zoo, in Sydney: Taronga Zoo on the other side of the harbour. You get there by a ferry from Circular Quay to its own wharf, take a bus or cable-car to the top, and work your way past the exhibits back down the slope to the wharf to return. The site is spectacular and the exhibits excellent. The whole ferry trip and day at the zoo is a great experience (perhaps at its best in Spring or Autumn), but maybe a little expensive.

Thanks for the info, I think we are going to put that on the bucket list for the next visit for sure.

After all these years I still can’t get use to Centerpoint Tower being called the Sydney eye, welcome to Sydney boys have a fantastic time 😊

@Dr_KAP 11 ай бұрын

IKR! For some time it was called Westfield tower or something like that ugh ! I just call it Sydney tower! The restaurant at the top is terrible too they really could do better.

O wow, we didn't know it had a few names before our visit. In Orlando we have an Orlando Eye but it's a Ferris Wheel so very different from this. Thanks for the info and for watching.

Same - I still call it Centrepoint. I didn’t know it was now the Sydney Tower Eye. I thought it was still Westfields. Mind you I did not really get used to Myer being Grace Bros for a time from 1983. Now that Meyer has gone back to its original name I am happen.

Death adders are actually placid and not aggressive to humans at all. The main danger is stepping near or on one because they hide in leaf litter. Then they might strike in defence but even then will rarely use venom. I’ve seen quite a few snakes hiking in Australia but I’ve never seen a death adder.

I live in Sydney and have never been to that zoo. It looked surprisingly ok. Taronga is much bigger and Featherdale is good to get closer to the animals.

@backpack.travel 11 ай бұрын

We were surprised too! I thought with the deal that it would be just ok but it actually had a ton of good info and lots of animals lurking about to see.

It’s a shame you missed Vivid. Go to Taronga Zoo next time, more a traditional Zoo. Yes its illegal to hold a Koala, but you can interact with them at zoos and sanctuaries if they are not stressed. Visit the Botanic Gardens at night, a small version of Vivid is still on until 16th July.

@backpack.travel 11 ай бұрын

We thankfully did get to see Vivid and that video will be coming soon. Very glad our timing worked out to see it.

OMG! You guys are so cute. There are places where you can hold a koala. They are usually supervised at wildlife parks.

Aw thanks! I think next time if it's safe and ok to do so I would love to interact with a Koala. Thanks for watching!

It’s not illegal to touch or hold a koala in Queensland. There are plenty of places in Australia where you can have your photo taken holding one. But like any wild animal that climbs trees with huge claws, it’s very unwise to try to pick one up in the wild. Like most marsupials, they are generally sweet and good-natured, but you don’t want to frighten one, or go near a big male during the mating season.

@ItsAlwaysHappyHour 11 ай бұрын

Yes, it is prohibited by law for anyone to hold a koala in NSW, with the exception of trained zookeepers. QLD is the only state in Australia that still allows koalas to be held by the general public.

@noelleggett5368 11 ай бұрын

@@ItsAlwaysHappyHour Ah… It’s obvious that I’m a koala-hugger, then. Mind you, I don’t know anyone stupid enough to pick up a wild koala. Unfortunately, over the past few years of extremely hot summers and catastrophic bushfires, there have been many instances of koalas coming to humans for help, mainly for water.

You can go to featherdale wildlife park to feed and pat kangaroos and hold koala’s

@ItsAlwaysHappyHour 11 ай бұрын

Nope. You can "interact" with koalas at Featherdale, but you cannot hold one. It is prohibited by law for anyone to hold a koala in NSW, with the exception of trained zookeepers. QLD is the only state in Australia that still allows koalas to be held by the general public.

Only illegal to hold koala in NSW - if you go to QLD you can - each state has different laws. Just be warned - they like to piss and shit on you when you hold them 😂😂

Its not illegal to touch or hold a koala in Australia. Its not recommended but there are places all over Australia that you can hold them.

That animal enclosure thing you visited looked horrible, you needed to go to Taronga Zoo, it is 1000 time better than whatever that thing was you went to.
