The Australian Zoo was our goal today. This is the famous Steve Irwin’s aka “Crocodile Hunter’s” home away from home. This zoo was originally opened in 1970 by Steve’s dad who was a respected herpetologist. It was a very nice animal park with an amazing collection of Australian flora and fauna. We enjoyed the many animals; saw up close koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, alligators and of course the saltwater crocs. We enjoyed a Wildlife Warrior show in the famous Crocoseum – 5000 seat amphitheater that had a good performance of elephants, snakes, birds and of course the CROCODILES.
We were very pleased to see the emphasis put on conservation through education and the various projects they are sponsoring to improve the life of the animals in the wild. We saw the bench that our own Wild Life Images in Merlin, Southern Oregon sent to the Australian Zoo, dedicated to the memory of Steve Irwin.
We are off to see Brisy, Bris-vegas, Brisbane – the first big city we have been to in Australia.
