This morning we took the shuttle bus to the zoo and left all our luggage in a locker there. Australia Zoo is what they call "Home of the Crocodile Hunter". Everywhere you look, there are pictures and posters and statues that remind you of Steve Irwin. The zoo is actually really good cause it's pretty big and seems more like an amusement park than a zoo. All the animal enclosures are very clean and very big, so the animals don't look unhappy and actually have the space to move around. Also, all the animals are walked around the zoo (except for the snakes and crocodiles of course!) so that they see different environments than just the inside of their cage. These animals include the elephants, tigers, baby alligators, eagles and wombats!! We saw a show with snakes, birds and crocodiles. It was the show that Steve Irwin used to do, with the crocodile feeding and stuff. One of the highlights of the day was definitely the kangaroo feeding! There is a big park that's full of kangaroos and wallabies and you can just get up real close to them and feed them! They are so soft and cute! A few of them had baby kangaroos in their pouches, even cuter! Another great thing was the tiger show! Anyway, after spending a good day at the zoo, we took the bus to Brisbane. We went out for dinner and then went to bed very early...
Weather: delightful during the day, but unpleasantly thunderstormy in the evening ;-)

Great post; I especially love the weather comments! No, but really, sounds like you two are having an amazing time. Seeing the kangaroos that close must have been amazing! - Holly
