After an early breakfast we headed to the Featherdale Wildlife Park outside of Sydney. I had another great photo op with a koala (this one munching on eucalyptus leaves in a tree and I just stood behind him) as well a a chance to feed the wallabies. There were many beautiful birds and other native animals as well.

We then drove through the 2000 Olympic Park. Everything has been paid off, dorms have been converted into apartments, and the venues are open to any one who wants to use them. Hotels and office buildings are under construction, so the Aussies have really made their Olympic investment profitable.

Our foodies tour included an Italian deli, the Sydney Fish Market, a gelato shop, a pie truck and the Old Fitzroy Hotel where we sampled three types of beer. I liked the Sydney Fish Market the best, even though a seagull swooped down and stole my oyster from off my plate! Unfortunately, it all happened so fast no one got a picture of the avian theft.

I had a few free hours left that day and really needed to walk off all that food, so I walked from my hotel through Hyde Park to view the exhibits in the Australian Museum.
