Today we went to a place up in the rain forest in the mountains. First of all, the views were absolutely amazing! You could see out over town and the ocean. Once at the zoo, we were able to pet all of the animals including Kangaroos and Koala's and snakes and all sorts of indigenous animals. I got my picture taken with them all, except for the snakes. I ALMOST did it, but then it started crawling down someones shirt and that did it for me. I touched it but that was as far as I got! After that we learned how to throw a boomerang and it was totally awesome. The guy showed us how to hold it and then throw it and it actually circled around and came back. They told us they are used for killing birds in flocks, so that was pretty cool. After our boomerang lesson, we went and were showed how to throw a spear and this guy flung the spear and it hit a coconut from on top of a log... it was pretty awesome! Then we got to see a native aboriginal dance and I have some video's but I will post them when my internet connection is faster and I'm not paying $1 for 15 minutes!
At the end of the day I got to hold a Koala and get my picture taken with it. It was very soft and its claws were super sharp. He started to really hold onto my shirt and it made me a bit nervous because he started to clamp on tighter, but his cuteness totally pushed out any worriesome thoughts.
Now we are all back at the hostel and I am sitting by the pool. Tomorrow I am just going to the beach with a couple of friends. We have a free day so we can all just go wherever we want. Then on Saturday we head to Melbourne! I am way excited to get down to where we are going to be living and just unpack. I have clothes eveywhere now and I am NOT looking forward to packing it back up and then unpacking it all again.
I suppose that's about it for now. Just wanted to send a little update.. Until next time, No worries!
