Sydney aquarium and wildlife

We spent another rainy day sight seeing indoors. We went to the aquarium and wildlife exhibit with Jakob, Max, Caitlin and Lucy from England. It was pretty amazing. We didn't get to see the platypus because it was hiding, so that sucked. There were some very beautiful fish. There was a lot of coral, jellyfish, penguins, sharks, dugongs, seahorses and so many different fish. My favourite part was the walk way tunnel with the sharks, fish and dugongs swimming over us. They had ambient music to listen to while watching everything swim but it was so noisy with everyone else in Sydney coming to escape the rain. My favourite parts were the jellyfish, penguins and rays. The jellyfish seem so whimsical and fairy-like as they move through the water. They change colours too which is very cool. I was so excited to see the penguins since they Are my favourite animal and I have never actually seen them in real life. They were so adorable. The rays were Amazing to watch. They move so effortlessly through the water. They are very majestic and fluid. Max was in love with the rays too.

We walked over to the wildlife exhibit right next door. We got to see koalas, wombats, kangaroos, a Tasmanian devil, spiders,lizards, bats, a crocodile and an emu. The poor koalas were out in the rain. There was a short information session on koalas and their fur is actually waterproof, but they still looked miserable in the rain. The kangaroos and wombats did not like the rain at all and were under shelter. The spiders were super creepy.
