On the way to the Thora Valley we stopped in Port Macquarie – 4 hours north of Sydney. There is a “Koala Breeding Center” there that looked to be fun for the kids. It certainly lived up to its promise – the kids got the chance to pet a koala

and a baby Wallaby as well as observing all sorts of Aussie wildlife close up. Dave even got the chance to juggle for the spider monkeys which they really seemed to enjoy.

There were other, more dangerous, creatures for petting as well.
