Blue Mountains!

Hi!
Today we had another early morning as we headed out to the Blue Mountains. We searched for some wild kangaroos but were unsuccessful. We went to several different lookout points to view the beautiful mountains. We saw the famous "three sisters" rock formation. The Blue Mountains are filled with eucalyptus trees which give it the blue haze that gives them their name. We hada nice lunch at a hotel in the mountains. We also went to Featherdale Wildlife Park where we got to pat a koala and feed kangaroos! We saw other animals including owls, peacocks, wallabies, wombats, tasmanian devils, and a huge crocodile. Then we headed back to the city. On the way we passed an Outback Steakhouse. (What?! I thought those only existed in the states?!) We had dinner and dessert at Sydney Harbor with a stunning view of the harbor bridge.
Until next time,
Kimmy
