There were other animals to see at the wildlife park too. We got to pet koalas and see them right up close. They are very soft and cute. They have very, very sharp claws and will strike out if they feel scared. The worker from the park told us a friend had 147 stitches in his arm after a koala took a swipe at him.
My dad and I also 'talked' to some parrots. They would say "hello" and "want a cookie" and we would give them some leaves to eat. They were really cool how they used their feet and mouth to work with the leaves. They made us laugh a lot.
Also I finally tried the famous Australian food spread called 'Vegemite'. It is what a lot of people put on their toast or sandwiches instead of peanut butter. To me, and all of us from Minnesota, it tasted totally gross. I can't really describe it, so maybe I should bring some home for people to try.
