Thank you everybody it's been 10 years, and I remember the tour bus looking towards I thought water saying Russell Crowe's house was there and I looked over and saw these cockatoos in a park. I went back later and found a museum in this part I don't even think it it was a charge art museum, I looked all over and I was kind of disappointed I was leaving I found some cockatoos and the parrots. I literally got food and they were eating out of my hand and I still have those pictures . It's pretty exciting as in the stage we could never have this happen. I'm at animal lover and wildlife as you can probably tell. But when you take a guided tour you only get one day off maybe for for five hours and I just have no idea how many parks and museums there and I can't remember if it was near water or not. Thank you all for trying to help me so far .I just when I go back to Australia probably next year I want to find a park and I only have a certain amount of time in one day.
