After leaving the White Rabbit, I visited the Australian Museum, which I would argue is too underrated amongst tourists and I would recommend to anyone visiting Sydney. The Australian Museum is somewhat of a science and history museum that celebrates the unique history and natural environment of Australia. The museum has a large collection of animal exhibits that show animals that are native to the country and some that are found commonly around the world. The animals that were highlighted ranged from kangaroos, dingos and emus, which can all be found in wild areas of Australia, to rhinos, lions, brown bears and moose, which can be found in other continents like Africa and North America. One of my favorite animal displays was the "Native Birds of Our City" section, which showed birds that are commonly found throughout Sydney, similar to how pigeons can be found in cities in the United States. These commonly found city birds include the Australian White Ibis and the Silver Gull, which was posed eating a french fry. I also visited the dinosaur exhibit that was connected to the birds hall. They had large displays of bones, including one that made a large T-Rex laying across a large platform. One of my favorite parts of the exhibit was a really cute replica of a nest with hatching eggs.
As interesting as the rest of the museum was, the limited time exhibit that brought me to the Australian Museum was the "Relics" exhibit. Relics was an extremely interesting exhibit that was an imagining of what would happen after humans were no longer on Earth and if Lego figures took over.
