I enjoyed it. There were some the lizards that were running around the paths. One went in with the crocodiles and others posed happily for photos. We saw a show it was good.

I did listen to her 'Stranger Danger' advice when I was younger and therefore decided to check out where I was s'posed to be going last night online first.As soon as I typed the name of the bar in it said that the only reason this place existed was to sell drugs. After the convo i had had in the car I decided t http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-422260.html Thanks for reading everyone I am loving the comments and hearing what you all are up to Keep it coming I have officially started orientation at school It is nothing too exciting and pretty boring. There have been 2 lectures that I had to attend and a few free lunches and thatrsquos about it Since itrsquos been pretty slow around here we decided to spice things up a bit and head to the Aus http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-421711.html CRIKEY This zoo is awesome Transport entry package from the hostels were almost 100 so we decided to make our way to the zoo save some we left around 10am and got there about 12pm it took a bit longer than wersquod expected as we had to wait 45 minutes for the bus connection from the train station So that left us with 4 12 hr hours to explore and we enjoyed every minute there http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-404743.html The biggest tourist thing to do on the Sunshine Coast is Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo. Usually we're not too supportive of zoos expecially some of the ones in Europe recall the bear pits in Switzerland but they've done a great job in conservation and none of the animals seemed 'caged in'. It's amazing how worshipped Steve Irwin is in Queensland. In Canada we thought of him as a novelty act but http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-401557.html 2nd 3rd May Zoe and Phil left on early bus as keen to get to Noosa to visit Australia Zoo...we take it easy haven't booked a bus yet and wonder into the bus station about 10 ish only to find Zoe and Phil overslept and not only missed their first bus but the sexond to and are now getting the 10.15 ....conveniently for us 4 people have just cancelled their booking on the 10.15 to Noosa so we're all http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-400904.html 190509 Tuesday Day 276Yet another overcast day. Having left Caloundra we headed to Australia Zoo. This place is huge. Itrsquos very well laid out and the map is very easy to follow. Being Steven Irwinrsquos zoo there was obviously loads of crocodiles. And like most crocs they donrsquot do much We had only about 40 minutes to walk around before the first show in the Crocoseum. This is m http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-400225.html Day 80 Australia ZooThis zoo is famous mainly due to the late Steve Irwin and family. It is located about 100km north of Brisbane and is home to many animals who live in their natural surroundings. We arrived at 9am ready for the opening as did lots of families as it still the Easter holidays. We spent a couple of hours walking around seeing many native animals including cuddly koalas relaxing k http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-391453.html HiNot that much to say on this really just a stop off in between Brisbane and Hervey Bay and think the pictures pretty much tell the story. Highlights were feeding the elephants and stroking the koalas they're really cool the main event the crocodile show was actually pretty disappointing. The croc was very lazy Anyway i was relieved to get outta there cos the greyhound arrived an hour a http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-373261.html Australia zoo was calling ldquoCrikey Have a go at thatrdquo R.I.P. Steve Irwin. We got to the zoo at around midday and were just in time for the croc show at the famous crocacium where Steve used to prance around sticking his head in crocs mouths and other such antics. It was really good fun to watch and Matt got a free photo of Steve feeding a croc for his awesome impression of a koala.

I pottered around for a bit then caught a train back up north to a town called Caboolture to see Kelli who I met when I was in Canada.I found her hard at work and waited a couple of minutes for her to finish. We set out to drive even further up north to Caloundra all this going down and up was the best option I promise to where Kelli was ho http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-353232.html Australia Zoo is a must for anyone visiting Brisbane area http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-351168.html On Saturday we decided to all go to Steve Irwin's zoo. It was amazing First we went to the crocoseum a 5000 seat stadium where we saw snakes birds and a crocodile called Monty. We then split into two groups and started working our way round the various enclosure. The afternoon was particularly exciting...some of us had our photo taken hugging a koala bear...so cute We also saw tigers swimming http://www.travelblog.org/Oceania/Australia/Queensland/Australia-Zoo/blog-341198.html
