Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Last Friday we went to the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. When we first arrived we were allowed to hold a pa of food for the colorful lorikeets. They swarmed us, sat on our heads, shoulders, arms, and all around the pan. It was absolutely amazing! We then watched the eel and pelican feeding. I never knew that eels were blind, and can only smell. The feeder had to stomp on the ground to bring attraction then hold the food in front of them. We were also able to watch an aboriginal song/dance type ceremony. We watched reptile show, then we able to hold a snake take a picture with a possum. We also held a baby salt water crocodile! It is not as fun as i thought it was going to be! So weird! We fed some kangaroo's and walked around before going to be High Rope course called the Green Challenge. There were 3 levels of courses, one after the next but we could get down if we wanted. I couldn't wait for this, and most were pretty surprised that I was. Other students were calling out to make sure I was okay because I am no typically into the outdoor activities, but there were no bugs, water, and I was in control of myself! Jake doesn't do well with heights so he got down after the 2nd course but I did it until the end! I The whole day was sooooo much fun!
