Coming to Australia, there is no reason not to have some close encounter with Australia's iconic animals. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a good place to do so. Took the G-Link tram from Cavill station to Broadbeach South station, then transfer to Bus 700. Ask the driver to let you know where to alight, as it is not so obvious. The whole journey takes about 40 minutes.
Admission to the sanctuary is AUD$49 at the door, but if you buy your tickets from http://www.experienceoz.com.au/, you can get it at ~AUD$33, it is quite a discount.
Voila, here comes our cute koala. Currumbin has almost all the Australian iconic animals, koala, wormbat, Tasmania devil, wallaby, kangaroo, etc. And you can have some really close encounters with some of them.
This 4-month wallaby is the most memorable one for this trip. She was rescued from her mother's pouch, and raised by a keeper. She is friendly to humans. A lady staff of the sanctuary was very nice to introduce us to this wallaby and we had some enjoyable time with the wallaby.
You can also find a less known species of kangaroo, which is the tree kangaroo. It is the very first time for me to know that there is such a species. Tree kangaroo has golden hair, and shining like a pot of gold under the sun.
There are some shows in the sanctuary as well. One is the bird show, and the other the sheep shearing show. Both are interesting and entertaining to watch.
