Vegemite
I tried Vegemite and it tasted...salty.
Here is a lovely picture of me and my new favorite snack.

Featherdale Wildlife Park
I love animals!!!
I went to the Featherdale Wildlife Park with two of my friends, Emma and Bessie. We went on a day where it was drizzley, so the park was fairly empty. That was nice because we got more time interacting with the animals. Unfortunately the park wasn't so empty that I could sneak a kangaroo home, but it was still a successful day!
We pet koalas, fed and pet kangaroos, fed a large emu, saw an aligator and dingos and so much more!
The above kangaroo has a baby in its pouch!!

Surf Camp
Surf Camp was awesome and freezing!
Our first lesson we learned the parts of the sufboard (I wasn't really listening...oops). Then we leaned how to 'catch' a wave. Pretty much you get on the surfboard and hang your feet off the back (stern maybe) because if you are too far forward on the board you will nosedive. Then you paddle like mad and when the wave comes to you paddle two more times and stand up. Sounds easy right?
Wrong! It's hard and chilly. And the instructors made sure to warn us to not have the surfboard in between us and the wave or else it would knock us over. I learned this lesson firsthand and have the bruise to prove it!
Anyway, I did get up once for about two seconds, and luckily got a pic!

So all in all, surfing is fun, but cold in wintertime!

Vivid Festival
Every hour on the hour there is a Vivid water show on the Harbor. It has music, lights, and (of course) water! (And cool water effects) I went to a 'Rock Music' Themed show last night. Here are some pictures and videos I took (not the best quality, sorry!)

Cruise around Sydney Harbor
Last night we took a cruise around the Sydney Harbor. It was beautiful. We saw the Opera house and it was every bit as amazing as it looks in pictures. I wasn't originally planning on seeing a show at the Opera house, but BU will reimburse us $30 dollars if we decide to see a show. I think I might as well see a show!
Here are some pictures from the harbor cruise! I didn't get good pictures of Vivid, but the picture are still beautiful!

Look What I Bought!
Bessie and I went shopping today and bought kangaroo meat! We have no idea how to cook it, but we will learn! Stay tuned for a post about how cooking it goes!
