We spent the day at the zoo, and unknowingly it was father’s day in Australia so it was jam packed which was a bit annoying but at least we got a free muffin on entry. I haven’t visited every zoo in Australia, but I think this one is probably the best. I thought that the Australian zoo would be one of the worst because I heard they were going out of business, but they probably aren’t since they are expanding. There is a lot to do and see and the grounds are tidy and the animal cages are spacious and clean. The animal information sessions were actually informative and entertaining, as opposed to many I’ve seen in other animal parks. This one is definitely in another league compared to the Sydney zoo which was a major disappointment because the whole zoo seemed so unkempt.

I was able to feed an elephant a piece of banana, which was fun since I’ve never fed an elephant before, and of course we went to the famous crocoseum for the croc show. It was cheesy but still entertaining because the animals were so well trained. It was definitely the best flying bird show I ever saw and the crocks were neat since I’ve never seen the animal in action in real life before. The snakes were a bit dull since snakes don’t really do much.

There were lots of iguanas wondering free around the zoo like common pigeons and an area where people could pet and feed kangaroos and wallabies which is always fun. I definitely recommend going to this zoo, and if you only do one zoo in AU this should be it.

Then we drove to Brisbane and got situated in a campsite and took the bus to town to have a drink in a pub. It was nice being back in a city where anything I wanted was available.
