Today, we left Cairns in Northern Queensland and headed south along the eastern coast towards Arlie Beach.. To break-up the monotony of the drive, we stopped at Billabong Animal Sanctuary, where we watched the crocodiles being feed and participate in a photo op with a koala. While the culture and consumerism of Australia reminds me a lot of American, the animals in Australia are truly unique. Not only did we view koalas, kangaroo, crocodile, wallaby's, etc. in this sanctuary, but also in the wild. At one campsite we spotted a few koalas in a tree and along the side of the road while traveling we often spotted kangaroo. And one morning while jogging I passed no less than 10 kangaroos. In D.C., when jogging, the only animals that I ever passed are dogs and rats.
