Australia Zoo

AUSTRALIA ZOO

So far, we haven't had all that much luck in coming across Australia's natural wildlife in their own environment. So recently, we cheated a bit and headed straight to Australia Zoo, which is only a half-hour drive down the Steve Irwin highway from us.

We've been to the Zoo before, so we knew what we were in for. An enormous place (100 Acres) full of not only Ozzie wildlife, but also animals from Africa, America, Asia and Europe.

The Zoo itself was opened by Steve Irwin and his family, and since Steve's death, has been continued by his wife and children. Last time we were there, we watched them performing the crocodile show. This time, it was performed by the zookeepers.
