- 5.A Visit to a Wildlife Park I recently visited Sydney with my parents. We visited many interesting places. The one I enjoyed best was the Wildlife Park. The Wildlife Park has a lot different Australian animals and birds. There are over 600 animals, including kangaroos, wallabies, koala and crocodiles. They are kept in their natural surroundings. I much preferred the Wildlife Park to a zoo where a lot of animals are in cages. We were able to walk along the kangaroos and wallabies. We were even allowed to touch them and to feed them. It was very exciting to be very so close to them. We saw koala bears. They looked very cuddly. I got my photograph taken with one of them. It is a wonderful souvenir of my holiday in Sydney. We also went to see the crocodiles. The Wildlife Park has a lot of fresh-water and salt-water crocodiles. Some of them were very big and scary with huge teeth. I did not get very close to them.
