We left Lawnton on Monday morning & drove up the road to Aspley & checked into the Big 4.
On Tuesday we decided to visit Australia Zoo, we had been there many years ago - (the actual day that Steve Irwin was surprised halfway through his show by Mike Munroe to present him with "This is your Life") It was great to be there for that!
We thoroughly enjoyed it back then & wondered if it had changed much.
Well it is better than ever, still the only Zoo that Dave & I have been to that you don't feel sorry for the Animals. They are all very healthy looking with huge enclosures - very natural!
Well we were certainly not disappointed, it is even better.

Then it was time for the show at the Crocoseum:

| Check out how high he is! |

| The Photo of the Day! |
But wait there is even more:

| A Cheetah - having an icy pole! |
We had a great day & the weather was perfect.
On Friday we went into the city & had lunch with fellow "Bloggers" Kerry & Mike, it was really nice to catch up with them.
Dave flew back to Kalgoorlie today & I will stay in Brissy with the Van until he comes back & the we will be heading off to Adelaide.
Bye for now,
Cheers Shell
Hey Shell and Dave
ReplyDeleteMust have a look at Australia Zoo when we go through there, when ever. We spent 8 months up the road last year and never got there.
How are those two...Mike & Kerry. Would have loved to be there for the get together...lots of fun, knowing Mike.
We are in Cairns at the moment and will be here for a couple of weeks before moving south.
