AUSTRALIA:  How many people want to go to Australia?  Most people want to go but find it difficult to do, especially if you have children.  Well did you know there is an Australian park in the United States.  In a town called Horse Cave Kentucky is a park called Kentucky Down Under.  It is part of the Mammoth Onyx Caves. Imagine taking your children to a place where they demonstrate and teach how to throw a boomerang, play a didgeridoo, and milk a cow.  There are also demonstrations with the sheep herding dogs and animal shows.

There are Rainbow Lorikeets, Laughing Kookaburras, and Umbrella Cockatoos to name a few birds. Or maybe you would like to see a Coatimundis, fainting goats, or Patagonian Cavy.  But what is the most know animal of Australia – why the Kangaroo of course. They have the red, albino and eastern grey kangaroos. Unfamiliar with any of these animals? Good thing we have the internet.  

After viewing the zoo, take a tour down under, literally, underground to the Mammoth Onyx Cave.  This cave was discovered in 1799 and opened to the public for tours in 1922.   It is still an active cave, so water flows through the roof to form Stalagmites and Stalactites. This is a smaller cave system, but pleasant and informative. 

This was a great day for our family in the RV.  Full day of entertainment and fun activities and a world of education.  You should take your family and check it out.
