Hi mates, today I took a plunge into the Sydney Wildlife Centre and the Aquarium Centre. It is absolutely fabulous. Almost all dangerous, deathly and venomous wildlife animals are present here. In fact, the Sydney funnel spider, most deathly spider in the world and about 1 cm in size, can be found all over Sydney. Luckily most of Australians wildlife comes out only at night. Other nice species are the Python, some 5 meters in length but not that dangerous. The top ten of worlds most dangerous animals live in Australia and include the crocodile, the redback spider (also tiny), the Sydney funnel spider, the box jellyfish (een soort kwal), just to name a few. My hosts told me a story that their neighbours in Cairns have a Python in the backyard living, and it doesnt do anything else than sleeping in the sun and snatching once in a while a turkey. So Sara, I guess that Britney the chicken would not survive here very long ;-) But there are also cute animals like the Koala and the Wallaby. You can see one in the picture above.
Today I also had my first full real meal again in 3 days: grilled salmon and french fries ! The food is quite inexpensive for us Europeans, even in the most luxury places.
