Australia Part 2-Oakvale Farm & Fauna World at Port Stephens, Coffs Harbour, Thai Food

Day 4 (24/12/15)
The itinerary for the day was to visit Oakvale Farm & Fauna World located at Port Stephens, followed by Coffs Harbour which is the place we would be staying at for one night before going to Brisbane
The 25 acreas Oakvale Farm & Fauna World is 100% Australian owned and operated
You will see many Australian native, domestic farm and exotic animals there
You can feed and pat the animals
The best is to be there on time (11am) so that you won't miss out anything!
We were late for few minutes and missed out the bottle feeding of baby farm animals
Luckily we were on time for the cow milking!
First time milking a cow!

Guinea pigs 
Saw this in the reptile ravine
American alligators 
This cute little one sleeping peacefully!
Was so scared at first
It can basically stay in the same position for so long
My new toy
Spotted a koala 
So cute!
Cassowaries 
Wallabies 
They were very shy. It's very hard to get closer to them.
Look at these two!
Dingo. It feeds on wallabies and kangaroos. 
Apparently this is a very old kangaroo. It moved so slowly. 
It will actually hold your hand when you are feeding it.
Sun bathing
Beautiful family
The three musketeers
Oopsiee! Can't reach! Sorry buddy!
Do I look good?
Miniature ponies
The alpacas
Texan Longhorn
Oakvale Farm & Fauna World is definitely a must-go!
You should really include it in your itinerary if you are at Port Stephens, especially if you love animals!
Later
We went to Coffs Harbour to stay for a night at Coastal Bay Motel
Had mouth-watering Thai food for dinner
Good night!

Location: Sydney NSW, Australia

Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (n...
