G'day cobber, sport,bruce, etc. etc. today was our trip to Australia Zoo - it had to be done, everyone told us so!! the Zoo was founded and inspired by the late iconic Steve Irwin, it was only about 20miles drives from Maroochydore, (we actually followed one of the courtesy buses so we would'nt get lost)
The whole place is very aestheticly planned and devised, lots of the animals are human friendly i.e kangaroos, koalas, wallabies (plus a small kids petting area) but obviously the live displays in the Crocoseseum were well attended with some salient advice about the crocodiles! which we will follow to the letter!! It was perhaps one of the better laid out zoos with a strong environmental and conservation message
Today Saturday was very soggy first thing which was a pity as we visited one of the best open-air markets we've experience at Eumundi. Literally hundreds of stalls90% were actually home-made or crafted goods with lots of individual identities which was refreshing to see.
In the afternoon it brigghtened up considerably - i.e. stopped raining! and we had a chilled out time at Coolum beach, feasting on our picnic watching the surfers and bathers enjoy the mid afternoon sea - feels like we're on holiday!!
Something we keep forgetting to mention in Europe when its Summer we have lovely long light evenings in France in June until 10.00 pm, but here it gets dark by 7.00pm which feels very strange.
