The wildlife is what makes Australia so different from other countries. No trip should be without a visit to see Australian animals. Yesterday, we saw and heard the famous kookaburra, a bird that sounds like it is laughing, from a steam railway. Then we went to an animal park where we could touch and feed kangaroos, cockatoos (white birds) and emus (big birds that cannot fly). We saw koalas and wombats there, too. Finally, we went to Phillips Island to see penguins come out of the ocean and bring food to their babies. Wallabies (small kangaroos) and geese were eating grass in nearby fields.
