Did you see alligators? Lazing around the pond...
We were in Australian Reptile Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, about an hour drive north of Sydney. It was not in my planned itinerary, my aunt highly recommended it. We were staying over at her place in one suburb of northern Sydney. I kept the day free to wander the suburb where my aunt and her family are staying, while she and her family at work and in school. But, she thought that it made sense for us to go further north on our own, ie Central Coast for a day trip.
It was 3 in the afternoon when we reached at the entrance of the Park. We were told that the Park is closed at 5pm and because of only two hours of visiting the park, we got a special rate for the tickets. Apparently most shows or guided tourswere no more available for us too.
As such, there were not many visitors, the ambiance became quiet and pretty (ahem) spooky for us, especially where top trees reduced the sun light penetrating in the bushland and there was only us, no other people could be seen. The chirping of insects and birds were sure added injected the fun to explore the park.
