4.00I really enjoyed the journey today—many thanks to our tour guide, Mr. Jimmy. He’s a friendly and knowledgeable man who shared a lot of fascinating history and stories about Australia. I learned so much from him! One of the stories he told was about the origin of the name "kangaroo." It’s interesting hahahaha I also recommend doing the reverse tour to avoid the crowds behind you. Even though the weather wasn’t exactly what I had hoped for, we were lucky enough to see a few wild koalas and even some western grey kangaroos. Thanks for one of the most amazing tour experiences I’ve ever had!
