  • Favorite Thing: I know you can do it lots of places but I've NEVER done it before and wanted to for a few YEARS!! I FINALLY went on a helicopter!!!! And I have a photo here as proof!!! I did this for about $50 Australian at SEA WORLD. I only got about five minutes worth but some fabulous aerial scenes as my next photos will show. It was fun!

  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: At SEA WORLD I also saw the delightful and sweet dolphin show. I recommend it!!! They also have a seal show, shark show and a sort of Polar Bear show. Plus are sea birds. They say that the dolpins in the show are doing things that dolphins naturally love to do (like jumping) which is reassuring to hear!!!

  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: Like I said they have (among other animals!) Polar Bears at SEA WORLD. Yours truely finds Polar Bears fascinating so watched them for quite a while. At certain times they have not so much a show, but, they have videos showing the bears' trip to Sea World and info about Polar bears and they talk about them. There are at least two viewing levels. I really like polar bears and it was lovely to see them at SEA WORLD!! They claim that their environment is like the polar bear's natural environment. I hope they have enough space for what they (the polar bears) need. We didn't get to see them swim though, which would have been interesting...

    General Tips: I love going to Dream World!...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: I love going to Dream World! There are some fabulous theme parks in Sufers' Paradise and if this is your theme, I reccommend you visit some! Some pics of Sea World to follow. Dream World has some GREAT adrenaline pumping rides! The 'Tower of Terror' goes about 160 Ks fast and goes backwards too! You have a free-fall ride and The WipeOut which tips you upside down and all sorts of angles! The Enterprise felt like I was flying but a bit of a head-spinner I found. There are heaps of rides for kids and are shows, especially ones for kids and a tiger show, which I loved. Also a chance to see native animals, and I got to cuddle a koala! She felt so soft and cute!

    Fondest Memory: I love the weather. Sometimes in Summer I personally find it a bit too hot but nice in Winter! I loved lots of things over here, mainly that I found there was quite a lot for me to do! It's too hard to choose! THE PICTURE BELOW IS OF THE WIPE OUT RIDE.
