Koala Park Sanctuary is located in West Pennant Hills, which is about 30 minutes drive from Sydney central business district. The park has several varieties of Australian wildlife, and visitors are allowed to pet koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, and wombats. In all, around 55 koalas roam within the park’s leafy boundaries (it’s set in 4 hectares/10 acres of rainforest).

This park was opened in October 1930 by the founder Noel Burnet and is still run by his family.

The reality is that they pee on themselves, their fur is wiry like a scouring pad, and they are almost always doped up on eucalyptus leaves. While it used to be known as a Koala Bear , the Koala is not a bear at all.And yes, it does look like a fat gray teddy-bear.

The kangaroos are hopping freely too and anyone can feed them. Picnic areas available, kiosk, souvenirs shop. Open daily from 9.00am to 5.00pm.

Dolphin Stadium is one of the most colorful stadiums inside with a total of 75,000 orange and teal seats. In 1987, Dolphin Stadium was the first stadium built primarily for football, and later used permanently for baseball. The name was changed from Pro Player Stadium to Dolphin Stadium on January 09, 2005.

The second level offers club-level seating–seats are 21 inches wide (compared to the 19-inch-wide general seats)–and offer access to an air-conditioned lounge with full-service bars and concession areas. The technology is certainly an upgrade. TVs on both sides….with color, instant replay and nice graphics.

Dolphin Stadium is the first of its kind to be constructed entirely with private funds. Joe Robbie led the financing campaign to build Joe Robbie Stadium  for the Miami Dolphins.

Great place for football and they pull off concerts pretty well, better than most football stadiums.
