Third Weekend in Sydney (Sunday)

Lee and I met at 9am in Townhall Station and took a train to Blacktown and a bus going to Featherdale Zoo.  It was freaking, damn cold and the non-stop rain made the weather even worse.  But  it was all worth it after seeing in flesh all these adorable animals.
Kangaroos
Koala
Wombats

There are of course other animals like bats, peacocks, pelicans, crocs, snakes, etc. but I won't post any photo of those since they are commonly seen in all other zoos. :)  It only took us around 2 hours in exploring the place.  But if there were animal shows, we would have stayed a little longer.  It so happened that the weather was pretty bad and there were no school field trips so, there was no single animal show.  But still, it was worth it for a tourist like me.

After the meet and greet with these wonderful species, we had a typical burger, fries  and coke for lunch and found some weird souvenirs at the shop.  How weird is it?  Check this out.

This item costs 26AUD in the Zoo, but I bought it for 12AUD in Darling Harbour :D
Thanks for an amazing experience, Featherdale Zoo!

NOTE:  To those who are planning to visit the place by public transport, if you're taking a bus from Blacktown Station, the zoo is at the right side and in a residential area (surrounded by houses).  You won't notice the zoo name as shown in the picture above because it's facing the other side.  We almost missed it! :D
