Rainforest Habitat Centre

After breakfast we had a guided tour of the Rainforest Habitat Centre. This was an amazing collection of native Australian animals, many of which we had seen before, but could see many times and still enjoy the experience. We saw many types of birds close up, koalas, freshwater crocs, saltwater crocs, emus, wallabies, kangaroos, and many more. We got to feed the kangaroos, which was fun because they were so tame that they ate out of your hand. There were even some with a baby kangaroo still in the pouch! All in all, it was a great morning. We spent the next hour at Mossman Gorge in Daintree National Park touring the beautiful rainforest area there. After that it was back to the hotel for lunch and then we had the afternoon free. I went to a store called Reef Teach to purchase several items for my curriculum unit on the Great Barrier Reef. I also bought an authentic Akubra Australian hat. For dinner that evening a bunch of us went to a local pizza place before calling it a night.
