Docked by 8am and we have a 6 hour excursion to the Healsville Wildlife Sanctuary. It was well out in the countryside. The first animal was also very unusual. The Echidnas which reminds me a of a porcupine. Koalas were next. WOW! On to the Kangaroos. Lots of walking. So many animals, plants, and even Dingos. And of course the Platypus. Quite a few reptiles. So many birds. We had a nice time at the Sanctuary. Back in the city, we had some interesting views from the bus. One was a fast food store called Hungry Jack's. The company could not get a license to use the name Burger King because a Australian restaurant already had that name licensed and would not sell it. On our return to the ship, the bus took a short detour to take us along the Melbourne grand prix 2024 track. These are races on city streets that are currently being converted by adding barriers along the sides of the road and seating. We drove over the finish/start line and past the pits. The race will be in March and our driver says it always causes a lot of disruption and traffic issues. Tonight we had an unusual and great meal. From the appetizer to desert, it was great.
