We went away for a short 3 day break to the Sunshine Coast.
We drove up on Friday to Australia Zoo at Beerwah.
Last June we bought
Last June we bought
season passes because it rained all day
& thought we would like to come again
& thought we would like to come again
when it was dry, well guess what ? It rained half the day.
We still had a great time , I didnt take many photos due to the rain.
Of course there were crocodiles.........
I have mixed emotions when we
go to Australia Zoo. There are images of Steve Irwin everywhere ,
you can feel his passion there , but the animals losing
there 'ambassador' can also be felt.
there 'ambassador' can also be felt.
And that is when you question & say "Why did he have
to be taken ?" Too deep , lets move on.
Snake rides....
Real snakes.....
The snakes here are the most alert I have
ever seen , they were all moving around
ever seen , they were all moving around
& coming up to the glass , very exciting.
Pony rides.....
Animal petting farm ....
I loved the otters.....
and the tigers....
How I wish that was my job !
The elephants....
We got to feed them earlier in the day , they are so gentle.
And for my overseas readers
Kangaroos....
I find them a bit confronting when they stand up
"stand back a little kids"
Even the koalas were awake !
This young koala had been hit by a car & most of
its front claws were missing.
OOhhh look at this cuddly one.
