78. Sydney Wildlife World

This is a fun day out but to be honest it’s more of a fun half day.











The centre is made up of about 7 or 8 “natural” habitat zones and with a couple of hours you can easily wonder through the whole enclosure. If you are interested in all the crazy animals that Australia has to offer then this is definitely the place to start.



The first thing that you see when you walk in is that quintessential comedy animal – the duck-billed platypus swimming about in a tank. There are a few of them and they are really fun to watch.




As you move on you head through areas containing insects, spiders, reptiles, roos, koalas, birds and butterflies. It really is quite interesting but as with all these places, it’s just not big enough.




One thing that was definitely the highlight was watching the pythons getting fed. There are two of them and they are about 6 or 7 metres long so when they go for their dinner (dead rabbits being held out on sticks by the handlers) it’s amazingly impressive.

However, I don’t now if it’s worth the $27 to get in.
