Feeding time for the Wallaby's. These Brush-tailed Rock-wallabies are listed as Endangered in New South Wales. The park has a small area where you can interact with them and take some pictures. Be sure to pet them on the back but NOT on their heads as they will become pretty agitated
Featherdale Wildlife Park is a great place to take kids and is good for a 1/2 day excursion. You are able to interact with a few kangaroos and have an up close experience and photo "op" with koalas. Unless you are VERY much into birds and wildlife it is pretty much just a smallish zoo that most adults might find ... well a bit boring.
When in Australia I had to see a kangaroo and a koala. I was able to do that at the Featherdale wildlife park. We went to the park as part of a day tour out of Sydney to the Blue Mountains. It was a nicely maintained park and I really enjoyed feeding the kangaroos in their habitat. Also the 13 foot crocodile at feeding time was also pretty cool. #featherdale #sydney #australia
