So had to get up today pretty early, as i have booked a trip to the australian zoo, which is steve urwins zoo. well i guess that should be was his zoo, all his family still live there. His father actually started the zoo, and that is where steve grew up and got his passion for animals. I watched a film on the bus on route to his zoo.
Anyway got to the zoo, not as big as i thought, but there are a quite a few animals here. so walked around went and saw all the animals. Best animal i think was the wombat, which was the first time i had seen one and is in the 2nd picture. I thought they were really cute and i want one. never got to stroke one but that doesn't matter.
So what else did i see, tigers, kangaroos (normal and red) koalas, wombats, snakes, crocs, lizards, komado dragon, elephants. and lots of other things i can't remember. sorry need to check out the photos on facebook if you wanna see, i made sure i took a picture of every animal, well nearly the only one i didn't see or take a picture of (obviously silly boy if you didn't see it !!!) was a Tasmanian devil. which i was interested to see, i have seen one before on TV, but not in real life. well i guess i have more time in my life to see one.
So im glad i was moving on straight from there to brisbane, because the bus they arrange for you from noosa and back, you don't pay for but you arrive at 10:00am ish, and they dont pick you up till 4:30pm. That is a bloody long day to spend in a zoo, especially when it is not that big.
anyway i had finished looking round the whole zoo by about 13:30. and i had booked a greyhound bus from here to Brisbane for 14:50, so i didn't have much time to waste i basically left the zoo sat outside in the hot hot sun (hahaha england :) ) and read my book. blimey it was really really hot that day, i got even more brown then i was, which is pretty brown well for me.
so got on the bus, it took me only about an hr or 2 to get to Brisbane. checked in to the hostel which is just outside the transit centre of Brisbane. Then got a call from Zara asking if i was in Brisbane yet. so meet up with her, walked around Brisbane for a while, just to get some bearings. Went back to the hostel, made some food, chilled out and went to bed.
