Australia Zoo

We had our longest road trip today, driving up to Sunshine Coast to check out the beaches at Caloundra.

But we first made a detour to visit the Australia Zoo in the morning. As I was driving along Glass House Mountains Road, I realised it has also been named as Steve Irwin Way, after the famous crocodile celebrity Steve Irwin.

At first, we thought we wouldn't be able to cover most if not all parts of the zoo if we wanted to go to the beaches. We had reached the zoo at about 10 am and had lunch at the food court after the animal show. But surprisingly, by the time we left the zoo at about 3 pm, we had actually seen most of the animals.

The Australia Zoo has a huge collection of crocodiles, kangaroos and last but not least, koala bears. I thought I would go gaga over the koalas, but I found another adorable animal - the fat wombat. The animal show at the crocoseum was more educational than entertaining, unlike what I see at the Singapore zoo.

Enough writing, here's some photos to add some colour to this boring blog.

Crikey!
