Paradise Country

11 June 2014

Following the checkout from our awesome service apartment from Mantra Circle, we headed straight to Paradise Country where we got to see more of Australia's Native Animals such as the Koala, Kangaroo, Dingo and Emu.

The admission ticket has a lunch option which we took it up to save us the hassle of driving out for food since there wasn't any food outlet within the vicinity.

We were handed a copy of the farm tour timetable with all the activities planned out nicely for us. The kids wanted to try out Gold Fossicking which in my humble opinion, was a pretty waste of money. Nonetheless, I am still glad they had fun.

We approached the Kangaroo and Koala Enclosure next, where most of the kangaroos were spending their afternoon lazing around. Haha... it got Ash rather upset that none of the kangaroos were keen to be fed...

At the Sheep Sheering Show & Ram Parade... our brave boy volunteered to go upstage as "Muscle Man".

Our quick lunch @ the outback restaurant...

Last show of the day featuring stockmen and their dogs rounding up a flock of sheep, milking a cow and throwing a boomerang...

And then it was time to say "Goodbye"...

I felt that Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Paradise Country were both somewhat similar with the later being catered for tourist. The shows were intended for laugh rather than for educational purposes. For a real Aussie Native Wildlife / Farm experience, I would strongly recommend paying a visit to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary instead.

Accommodation for the next 3 nights in Gold Coast... Sea World Resort!
