Crickies! Steve Irwin's place
We visited the Australian Zoo, home of the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. I usually don't like the zoo. I hate to see animals in cages, or I get mad that they are not in their natural habitats, being exploited, or that we have to have them in here to protect them from us. You get the point. Anyhow, this was different, completely, somehow.
Brian had been to the park before, but what it had evolved into was something totally different. Every animal was in a natural setting and was lovingly adored by the the incredible staff. The croc stadium was just that. It must have 500o seats! We got to hand feed elephants, kangaroos, pet kolas, and see tigers close up. For me it was an absolute thrill and we stayed until the very last minute.
Unfortunately we lost our camera with all the great pictures on it, a complete bummer.
