Australia Zoo

Very wet as I headed onwards and upwards moving up the coast of Queensland. Called in at one of Australia's most visited attractions, the wonderful Australia Zoo, formally the home of Steve Irwin. As you can guess the place is choc-a-blok with Crocs, most of them captured in North Queensland from areas where they were proving a danger to humans. It's not good just relocating the Crocs as apparently they home. The place is full of all kinds of fauna from around the world all in very animal friendly enclosures. The show is stunning. Like the Lion King with real animals. How on earth do they train a Crane to fly in across the park, land in the stadium, strut around and eat a few fish and then walk off to around of applause. Popped into the animal Hospital as well. Quite bizarre seeing a Koala snuggled up in a sleeping bag, a Wombat with a plaster cast and a fruit bat being given oxygen.
