Resting and Kuranda Wildlife Park

Trininty Beach 10 Oct

Thursday-rest day

On Thursday we had a rest. Me, Mum and Josiah went to the beach for a swim and to sit in the sun reading our books. I spent ages in the water so we came back to the motel so we wouldn't get sunburnt.


Friday-Kuranda

Yesterday we went to Kuranda via the skyrail. On the skyrail there were two stops along the way: Red Peak station and Barron Falls lookout. We spent a little while at each doing the board walks that they had. When we got Kuranda we went to the koala and wildlife park first where we got my our photos taken with a koala and then a snake. Their names were Princess (koala) and Stan (snake). After the photos we went into kangaroo and wallaby enclosure and fed them. The kangaroos were really lazy, they just lay down waiting for you to bring them food. Also at the park there were fresh water crocodiles, turtles, a wombat and several breeds of lizard. You only got to go in with the kangaroos and wallabies. After the Koala and wildlife park we were very hungry so we went in search of a place to get lunch. We had bagels and mango smoothies. After lunch we went to the butterfly sanctuary where there were lots of very colourful butterflies. We didn't see any caterpillars. there were these black and blue butterflies that I think like pink because they kept landing on my pink shorts. When we'd had enough of the butterfly sanctuary we went to the bird park. It was awesome, we got these Indian ring-necked parrots landing on our hats and playing with them. Mum got an Electus parrot on her hand when she was trying ot take photos. There were two macaws that bit our hands when we tryed to feed them. After the bird sanctuary we went shopping at the markets to get prezzys for people. I got myself a hair clip that I've been wanting for ages.


Saturday-more rest

Saturday was another rest day. We hung around the motel all day. We swam in the pool in the morning then we watched two episodes of Little House On the Prairie.
