On our way back from Umina to Sydney, we made a stop by the Australian Reptile Park. This park was well-rated in the reviews I had read online and it was therefore one of the must-gos on my itinerary.
Unfortunately, the weather was wet and cold on the day we wanted to go. It continued to be wet and rainy for the rest of the time we were in Australia so it was not as if it would have made a difference if we went another day anyway. The sky was grey and it was threatening to pour when we arrived, but we decided to go ahead since we were already there. It started to rain shortly into our visit but we were glad we went. It is a rather well-maintained park with quite a bit to see.
When it was pouring, we were glad that there were a number of indoor exhibits for us to visit. The Lost World of Reptiles was particularly impressive, both in its size as well as the type of exhibits they had.

Reminds me of our Melbourne trip when it kept raining (but that was winter though)! Ok now you have inspired me to finish writing about it after I stopped halfway last year :p

The rain was a real bummer, especially when we weren't really expecting it. <br /><br />Erm, I'm still thinking of posting a couple of posts from my earlier trip in 2010! Because I left out the two best places to visit: the Sydney Aquarium and the Australian Museum.

You should go back! There is a new playground next to the picnic area, pretty awesome:)!
