Trips to Beit Alpha and Gangaroo

Our family together with Vanysha joined a group of friends boarded on two sheruts to Beit Alpha and Gangaroo trips last 20 October. Because of our very busy schedules in the past week, we are only able to post these photos now. Anyway, we did enjoy looking at the koalas and feeding the kangaroos, our first time ever to see them so closely. They are jumping and eating everywhere in the kangaroo area. Enna-Marie and Menchie have also been to the zoo in Haifa (photos were also posted here), it's nice as they have a variety of animals there, but here in Gangaroo you can touch and feed the kangaroos, you can buy the food and it costs one shekel. We also have seen and taken photos of sheep, cockatoos and few other animals, but have deleted them by mistake, oh well unexpected things can happen sometimes. We recommend this trip to families with young children. Enjoy the following photos:

Beit Alpha Synagogue National Park is an ancient fifth century synagogue with a splendid mosaic floor. (photos didn't turn out so well as the room was so dark due to the film showing)...














Gangaroo is a beautiful park with all things Australian––kangaroos, cockatoos, flying foxes, koalas, laughing kookaburras, cassowaries, wallabies, and emus. There are 38 types of eucalyptus trees and other plants grace the grounds. They have a gift shop with all things Australian as well.
