Featherdale Wildlife Park

On our way to Blue Mountains we stopped at Featherdale. Last time we stopped there (in 2013) it was a hot sunny afternoon & many were sleeping.  This time it was cooler and raining. The animals were far more alert & active.

With flocks of these in the park behind the Opera house it amazes me they are in cages.

Our favorite animal and most deadly bird on the planet- the cassowary.

He can disembowel you with 1 swipe.

I just had to watch & record Dan's potential demise

Green Figbird

Koala- sleeping 90% of the time

His impressive claws, even at rest

He's awake but recently mated and pretty much just wanted to do that, not take photos.
