Agreed, but it'll get my vote. Reason being my daughter loves them, and wants to go to Oz to see them!

Anything to get the kids on our side is good in my books!

Good question! This had me thinking quite a long time - so many to choose from, but inthe end my vote has to be the duck billed platypus. Still not seen one though.

I voted Dolphin too - I also dived with them at Seaworld Goldcoast - I did the underwater diving helmet dive - was out of this world and when I move to Brisbane going to buy a year pass to Seaworld so I can go as often as I want. I loved the polarbears too - they were so active and seemed really happy for zoo animals.

Why go to Australia to swim with Dolphins??

You can do it in the UK (in the wild):

9. Where can I swim with dolphins in Wales?
Bottlenose dolphins can be spotted along the coast of Cardigan Bay usually between May and November. However it is not advisable to swim with dolphins. Although they may appear friendly they are wild animals that should be treated with caution and respect. It is possible to undertake boat trips to view dolphins in the wild. The two main ports for such trips are New Quay on the Ceredigion coastline and St Davids in Pembrokeshire. Various companies offer boat trips of the beautiful West Wales coastline, which allow passengers to survey not only the resident bottlenose dolphins but also porpoises, seals and wild birds.


Plus it's bloody freezing in Wales!
