Australia Zoo

On Monday, Chris, Wendy, Andrew and Emily went to Australia Zoo for the day. They caught the free bus in Caloundra and headed about 20 minutes or so out to Beerwah and Australia Zoo. They had a great time and the kids are almost the perfect age to do that sort of thing. It was great for them to see Terri Irwin in the thick of the 'show'. However Bindi was not on yesterday so they missed her.

The kids were aghast at the feeding of the crocodiles and had the best day possible. It was fairly warm and quite sticky with the temperature about 30 degrees.

They saw everything, crocodiles, snakes, elephants, tigers, kangaroos, Australian animals such as the echidna and all sorts of birds. Emily loved patting the kangaroos while Andrew was brave enough to be photographed on this model crocodile!

Last night we went to a local hotel for a meal before getting home about 8 pm. Overnight we had another 26 mls of rain lifting the month's total to over 200mls (over 8 inches in the old scale) and already above the January average.

Today is overcast and cool with temps in the mid 20's or just above. It remains quite humid.

I have added a movie link on the right (Andrew & Emily In The Pool) to show the kids enjoying the pool and a quick look at a walk we all had along the Caloundra Boardwalk.
