_M1***41:“It's a 50-minute drive from Melbourne CBD, a little far but definitely worth it! 🎫 Buy a combined ticket (entrance ticket + koala-watching ticket) on Ctrip for less than 150. Get a dog tag ticket at the door (see video), don't forget to buy a small box of food (3 dollars) before entering~ It is recommended to buy tickets at 10 or 10:30, otherwise the animals will be full, and there will be a show at 11 o'clock. 🐨 After entering, walk along the left hand and you will immediately see the koala area (the highlighted KOALAS on the map), where there is a queue. The waiter at the door will mumble a bunch of precautions. You just need to wash your hands with the hand sanitizer next to you, and then nod your head continuously to pretend that you understand. Then follow the queue forward. When it's your turn, the waiter will take your ticket and help you greet the koala to pose, and you can approach it to pet it (the fur is a bit hard, but very cute) 🪑 Next, walk out of the koala area, you will see a lot of kangaroos and ducks. Don't rush to feed them, because there are a lot of kangaroos in front, at least 20! Go to the show first. There are a lot of people queuing in front. There is a show at 11 o'clock. The animal performances here are very relaxed. It feels like they have no pressure. They can eat a lot of snacks with simple movements. This is also a manifestation of Australian chill [Wang Chai] 🦘 After watching the show, go forward on the left hand side. There are a lot of kangaroos and ducks along the way. If the kangaroo wants you to come over, it is waiting for feeding. Remember to hold the feed higher, otherwise it will be snatched away by the ducks~ There is a young kangaroo that is a bit strong and has chest muscles. If you are afraid, you can avoid it. When the kangaroo eats the feed, it will grab your hand with its little hands. Its nails are a little sharp. Boys can definitely resist it, but girls should be careful. 📸 Go along the left hand all the way. There are many birds, which I can't name. They look a bit like starlings, with red hair and green hair. There are also large birds like small ostriches, which can be fed. The birds here are more active than kangaroos. Girls with tender hands, please throw the feed on the ground, otherwise your hands will hurt. ☕ Go forward and there will be a rest area and a souvenir hut. Put the feed in the recycling box and wash your hands before entering the house, and you can leave the zoo~ [Sun] This is the only place in Melbourne where you can have this experience. Don't go to other zoos to watch from a distance, come here to feed with your own hands!”
