Australian Zoo.
We set out for the zoo. It's about 1 hours drive from Brisbane.
It's the zoo Steve Irwin worked at. I don't think any of us thought we could spend an entire day there. But we did. The charm of the Australian zoo is the interactivity. There are not a lot of animals, but we got to get up close and personal to the ones they had. The majority of the animals were native to Australia.
They have scheduled activities for most of the animals, we ran from one place to the next. We got to feed the elephants, pet the Koalas, pet the kangaroos, got buzzed by birds of prey, watch a crocodile show. We saw tigers but missed the show. We had to choose between feeding an elephant or watching the tiger show.
The animals were super active. I think the keepers do things to keep the animals moving. For example. I think they were placing food in the panda cage so we got to see them walking around instead of lazily sleeping on a branch.
We stopped at Woolworths, it's the grocery store chain, and picked up dinner. Tonight we cooked parsnips and spaghetti with Italian sausage for dinner. We ate on the patio overlooking the city.
Warm day with a few sprinkles. Not to hot.
How cool is that.... how many people actually get to pet a kangaroo
