Day 34: Darwin (Wildlife Park)

Seems there's a bit to do in and around Darwin. Today we're off to the Territory Wildlife Park. It is basically a zoo encompassing the Territory's particular wildlife. It had a pond that housed freshwater whip rays (stingrays). I had no idea there was such a thing as a fresh water stingray. The best thing here though was that we could hand feed them.

They also had a good aquarium and a bird of prey show. The aquarium has a 4m male salt water crocodile named Graham. Penny got a photo of Bridget up against the glass. (You know they actually get them up to 7m)

The bird of prey show included a black breasted buzard which is one of only two birds in the world to use a tool - in this case a rock to break an emu egg.

On the way home we dropped in at Berry Springs for a cool off. This had little archer fish that chewed the dead skin on my heals (a bit off a shock at first when they start nibbling).
