Got up early today and got all packed up to go spend a few days up north. Luke dropped me off at a hotel in Brisbane and a bus going to Australia Zoo picked me up. It took a little over an hour to drive up to the zoo and along the way which watched a video of Steve Irwin’s life.
The zoo was pretty good. There is a large arena called the Crocoseum where they hold the animal shows. The first show was about snakes. The second show they brought out the tigers and basically played with them. The third show was a bird show where they brought out some of the tropical birds from the area. The birds just fly free and come within inches of your head sometimes. The last show was the crocodile show. They brought out one crocodile and feed him. They did manage to coax him into jumping out of the water a few times. After the shows I wandered around the zoo. There are two large areas in the zoo where kangaroos roam and you are able to pet and feed them. There are also a couple of areas where you can pet koalas as well. I saw some dingoes, emus, cassowaries, Tasmanian devils, a large coastal hawk, and some wombats. There was also a large display of Australian snakes. It took a few hours to see the zoo and by about 4 o’clock was I ready to go.
