Epic 2024 Bucket List Trip PT 3: Wollongong and Symbio Wildlife Park
Epic 2024 Bucket List Trip PT 3: Wollongong and Symbio Wildlife Park
In this video we return to Sydney AU from our South Pacific Cruise and make our way to Wollongong to visit some friends for a couple of days. Our accommodations were first-class at a beachside golf club.
Since this was our first time in Australia, we wanted to visit a zoo or wildlife park to see some of the native animals. We chose the Symbio Wildlife park and were thrilled with our choice. The wildlife park had everything we wanted to see in a small less crowded intimate setting that allowed us to get upclose to the animals, and even feed a few.
We learned so much about local lifestyle in Australia from our friends. Getting to and from Wollongong from Sydney was not only easy, but cheap as in less than $5 AU each way per person on the train.
Hope you enjoy this video and it inspires you!

    Peas are expensive, her fresh ground turkey is expensive...you can find frozen turkey chubs for about $1.84 at Walmart. We get fresh spinach from Sams Club, green bean cans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, fresh chicken broth, plain rice, salt, pepper, vegetable oil, turmeric and our special ingredient is something that can be found but it's not in stores, it's Moringa leaf powder. This has literally reversed aged our oldest dog and the other dog constantly would throw up, is now free of this situation. We cook it in a pressure cooker for about 40 minutes and done...

    • @RealLife_D_and_J
      @RealLife_D_and_J Місяць тому

      Ours weighs between 4 - 5 lbs and gets fed 1 cup per day. We recommend 1 cup per 10lbs to start, then adjust up or down based on their activity level. Meaning if they are loosing weight at 1 cup, increase amount, and if they are gaining weight at 1 cup decrease the amount. Hope that makes sense. Please be sure to check out our updated recipe if you haven't already.

    Question: If I did this in a slow cooker, would about 35 minutes be long enough to cook it all? I don't have a pressure cooker, but it would be a good way to put my slow cooker to use.

  • @drewd2
    @drewd2 3 місяці тому

    You actually made this look really easy. And what you call a "mess" was far from it. lol I was trying to figure out why you liked making a double batch because it seemed to make everything more difficult, but then I realized it's because then that allows you to use the whole can of pumpkin. Can't you buy a can that's half the size? It just seems like everything would be easier doing the normal-sized batch.

    Another thing you can do is put all the eggs in and put the shells back into the egg container, then rinse the shells out let them dry and then put them in your processor and grind them down to almost a powder and then sprinkling all over your food!

  • @jdog52891
    @jdog52891 3 місяці тому

    I like your recipe and appreciate your video, but you seem to have made it much harder for yourself than necessary. 20 minutes in an instant pot, all ingredients, including the rice, with only rough chopping, will render everything completely cooked and soft and easy to blend with your nifty gloves. It will break down small for your small dogs. The addition of finely processing everything is adding so much unnecessary time and hassle to your routine. Even if you need to do it in batches with a smaller instant pot it would still be significantly faster and less work to just cook and dump into your bus bin. And you will never have to worry about it being dry. Also, highly recommend turmeric WITH black pepper, blueberries, and organ meat. Keep up the good work, and make your life a little simpler with an 8quart instant pot.
