Jerlene woke up pretty early today. Probably she knows we are going to have another great day ahead. Our main highlight for today is Sydney Wildlife World, which is just beside Sydney Aquarium, at Darling Harbour. We took a train from EdgeCliff and alighted at Town Hall in City Centre. From there, we took a short walk to Darling Harbour.
It was about lunch time when we reached there and so we decided to have our lunch before going into the Wildlife World. Jerlene was sleeping while we were eating and it is good so that when we entered Wildlife World, she will be awake and able to see the animals.
As we bought combo tickets (Wildlife World and Aquarium at 20% discount) the other day, we did not have to queue for the entrance ticket this time. Jerlene was wide awake by this time and she seems to be very excited. When she saw the lizard, I thought she will be frightened but instead, she wanted to touch it. The lizard looks larger in size than Jerlene.
Jerlene seems to be able to communicate with reptiles. When we came to an enclosure with Blue-tongue Skunk, I put Jerlene in front of the glass panel and the skunk started to come towards Jerlene. She then tried to feel it by touching the glass and the skunk seemed to reciprocate by leaning its face against the glass where Jerlene's hand was.
This is the first time I saw a reptile do that. I thought normally such reactions will only come from mammals such as dogs and cats. Reptiles to me is emotionless and motionless most of the time.
Next we came to the Koala enclosure. The Koalas are very cute and Jerlene tried to be one too.
In the same enclosure are the wallabies. Jerlene was so excited and she kept wanting to stand by herself.
We spent about 2-3 hours in Wildlife World and walked around Darling Harbour for the rest of the afternoon. That evening, we walked back to City Centre to find a place and have our dinner. The weather in Sydney really changed very fast. The entire afternoon is so damn warm. And as night falls, the temperature drops quite drastically and when the wind blows, it can be quite cold.
We took our dinner at the foodcourt in Sydney Plaza and returned to EdgeCliff after that.
