Fun day - Very fun day and Moonlit Sanctuary was great! My friend and I paid for kangaroo food and there were plenty of roos to feed. We also bought the Dingo experience....WELL worth the cost!! Penquin March was a bit uneventful as we only saw 2 packs come up before it got too dark to see much. :( But if you tslf your time going down to the boardwalk, you're likely to see many of them coming out of their little boxes and holes. To me that was more of the highlight. Jono our guide was great, very laid back andflexible because it rained at one of our stops so he had us come back early and took us to another one instead that by then the rain had stopped. Overall it was a very fun day and I'm glad I did the trip. :)

Interesting trip - Overall the experience was good. The first part of the penguin parade was over rated, but the walk back on the board walk was very good. We got to see multiple wild penguins traveling to the brood/nest.
