The kangaroos we saw were small, but they were roaming free, so you could go right up to them and pet and feed them. This one below was more aggressive than Ani bargained for. He began to chew on Ani's jacket sleeve, which was cute at first, but then he wouldn't let go. Finally, Ani was able to get away from him and I quickly learned to stay away from these little guys.
The koalas were super cute and cuddly. Being protected animals, people are allowed to pet them, but it's illegal to hold them. And We learned that the eucalyptus leaves that they eat are a mild narcotic, causing them to sleep for 17-18 hours a day. What a life.
Next, we made our way to the Blue Mountains, where our first stop was at the Three Sisters rock formation. This sight provided amazing views across the valley, as well as a great photo op.
Finally, we headed to a park where we rode what is claimed to be the steepest railroad in the world down into the forest, and then a cable car back up. Finally, we enjoyed lunch (photo below) in a revolving restaurant. Yes, it was touristy, but it's really the only option and the view was amazing.
We then headed back to Sydney for a little rest, followed by dinner with friends.
