What do you say when your 21 month old daughter asks you "where's Mexico?"? "It's in South America", I replied, though technically I'm wrong because it's central America isn't it? Anyway, she had no business asking me this sort of question, though she does seem to have a head for geography because yeaterday she pointed to an (upside down) outline of Australia and declared it was "Manchester". She's incredible.
We went off to Featherdale Wildlife Park at Blacktown today, as recommended by my "Sydney for Under Fives" book. Ella's picked up a bit of a virus so she's been more clingy than usual. Featherdale was just the ticket to cheer her up. It's much smaller than Taronga Zoo but you can get closer to the animals so we got better photos as well. We had a great time.
It's not possible to hold Koalas in New South Wales, but you can stroke them here at Featherdale. Each state has a different law about it; so we're looking forward to a trip to Queensland in a couple of weeks time for a proper cuddle.

Is it just me, or has that Koala got the most hilarious expression?
I thought exactly the same, in fact, I was going to do a little blog about "sodding tourists" from his viewpoint.
He looks like he's saying "I'm so over tourists".
