Kangaroo, Koalas and Chlamydia

So once and a while it is deeply important to indulge in tourist activities. In your own country, you dont even look twice at insane things like annual passes. Here however I have realised that $90 is really very reasonable (yes, I convinced myself) for an annual unlimited pass to 11 of Australia's top tourist destination. As they are about 30 bucks a pop I think this is justified. Feel free to disagree, its too late now!

So we kicked off with the Sydney aquarium and wild life centre (yes! two in one day! how much more awesome does life get!) Both were fantastic. Loads of underwater tunnels and amazing exhibits. Spent about half an hour staring at the insane frenetic platypus. Dawwwww so cute.

Highlights included the my first ever dugong citing - appropriately named 'Pig'



The worlds campest fish



And posing with the strangest shark/chainsaw I have ever seen...


 
Hmm yes. Cant work out how to turn that one the right way up... technology has never been my strong point.

Next we hit the Wildlife centre (conveniently situated next door). Managed to luck out massively by befriending one of the zookeepers and therefore getting a private tour of the entire place with all the background detail you could ever want. Also got to stroke the kangaroos. Felt a bit like being friends with David Attenborough. Well, almost.

The baby joeys were awesome. Especially when diving in and out of their mothers pouches. Thank god human babies cant do that - it looks excruciatingly painful. Amazingly (warning, animal trivia ahead) they can have three young at one time (not in the triplets sense). One that is out of the pouch, but still shoves his head back in to suckle, one that is growing in the pouch and another in the womb. I personally think this is incredible. If exhausting. Not the cleverest of beings though in some ways. One mother let two joeys climb into her pouch at the same time. Was a bit like the scene in family guy where Peter Griffin tries it out as a method of transport...

Charlie, Jack and Sid were also great fun. Think this is Jack. Naturally, he was asleep. But Sid gave us a great rendition of his mating call. Which was strangely quite similar to that of a hippo...



At this point we decided to tackle the subject of various popular rumours about Koalas. Starting with their constant hallucinations - which is apparently bollocks. Sadly. I quite liked that rumour. Feeling disappointed we turned to the Chlamydia question - which is true! A whopping 80% of Koalas apparently suffer from this! Ok that exclamation mark was slightly bad taste. Although naturally the ones in this precise wildlife centre are clean. Hmm suspiciously convenient...? Turns out it is a massive issue as almost guarantees infertility which means that there wont be many koalas around for much longer. Sad. And no, you cant use Koalas as an excuse when explaining to your other half why they are now testing positive... Bad luck.

Stopped by to visit Rex on the way out - NSWs largest crocodile in captivity, at just over 16ft. And still growing. Joy. Previous attempts to get him to breed have resulted in him eating his intended mate. What a charming bloke. Scarily long fingernails too...

  1. Under ordinary conditions, dating is a challenge. For people with genital herpes, it becomes a lot more difficult. Psychological problems, including humiliation, worry about propagating the virus may keep individuals from reaching out, and anxiety about rejection. They might possess a lowered self esteem and withdrawal from dating totally. Chlamydia support groups are for finding companionship on excellent Chlamydia forums.
