Billabong Sanctuary

Today we went to Billabong Sanctuary so that Christina could see some of the native Australian animals.  Since it's not technically a zoo, a lot of the animals are free to roam around the park.  They also do a lot of special presentations during the day where you get a chance to see the animals up close and hold them if you want to.

The first presentation we saw was about snakes.  Alexis even got to touch one!

Some of the kangaroos that roam the sanctuary.
These particular kangaroos were starting to get a little too friendly.  I think that they're so used to being fed (they sell kangaroo food in the gift store) that they come right up to you.  We didn't have any food and they were not backing off.  There were so many of them (probably 6 or 7) that we ended up just having to turn around because they were completely blocking the pathway.

Alexis loved the crocodile feeding.  She kept pointing at all of the crocodiles with this big smile on her face.

Christina had fun seeing all of the Australian animals.

They also have a pool at the sanctuary.  How cool is that?  Alexis had fun swimming with her auntie.
