DAY #11: 7/21/08 - Sydney, Australia
Today we were able to see the beauty of Australia. We took a bus ride to Echo Point and were able to see the Three Sisters Mountain Range. The views were simply stunning, especially since we were able to see them from above, and then later from the rainforest, after taking a train ride to get down there.

After enjoying a buffet for lunch, we headed off to Featherdale Wildlife Park. Here we enjoyed the once in a lifetime experience of petting koalas and kangaroos. We were also able to see many animals that are only found in Australia such as wallabies, emus, and Tasmanian devils. After driving back to Sydney, we ended off the day of touring nicely by going to Mass at St. Peter's where we met up with
Father Ariel. Then we headed back to the hotel where we enjoyed pizza for dinner, a simple end to a truly remarkable day.


Until tomorrow,
The St. Margaret Mary WYD Pilgrims
