The Outback!

The first question everyone from back home has asked me so far is: "Have you seen a kangaroo yet?" Well, we checked that one off the bucket list. Jake and I went to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, which is filled with a variety of Australian wildlife. 

This sanctuary had a large area of kangaroos, wallabies, and emus. We were able to roam the large field and feed these animals with virtually no supervision. It was a pretty amazing experience. There's nothing quite like taking a selfie with a kangaroo...

We also had the chance to see dingos, platypuses, crocodiles, native birds/parrots, Tasmanian devils, and koalas. This sanctuary is actually the largest koala sanctuary in the world with over 130 koalas. Jake and I were both lucky enough to cuddle with a koala, especially considering the koala is an endangered species, and most Australians never have the chance to see one in the wild. They are probably the laziest animal known to man, but one of the best huggers.
