HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRESTON!!!!!!
Well, we had planned to go the Australia Zoo tomorrow, but at about 7:15 we changed our mind and decided to go today, much to the delight of the whole family. Everyone was very excited, and we were ready to go in record time, it opened at 9am and we arrived just in time. The Zoo was on "Steve Irwin Way", and I felt a bit sad knowing that he was no longer with us. We were all hoping to catch a glimpse of the rest of the family sometime during the day.
First we headed off in a shuttle service to the new Africa section.
This was great as we were able to see the baby rhino that was just born in April. A big girl for a 5 month old. We couldn't believe that she would jump around and play like the lambs do at home, when she is so big. Very funny to watch.
The next thing we did was go and watch the otter feeding. These little creatures are very intelligent and it was like watching dogs the way they acted and the way the trainer talked to them.
The displays and enclosures were very well designed. The whole zoo was connected with a shuttle service, however, it wasn't that big that you couldn't walk everywhere. There were zoo handlers everywhere, with different animals for people to touch and look at.

There was also a small zoo for the kids to feed the animals, this was great also.
Throughout the day there were shows in different parts of the zoo and feeding sessions, but the main attraction of the day was the "Wildlfe Warrior" Show in the Crocoseum. This is the same stadium they had the memorial service for Steve, so I got a bit "goosebumpy" when he came up on the big screen and started talking to everyone about saving the world!!!! This show was just fantastic. They had a variety of animals coming from all directions, birds, elephants, snakes and of course crocs. You didn't know where to look next and the music that accompanied it just made the show. The birds were probably the best part, but you just couldn't get photos as they were constantly flying over head. Terry, Bindi and Robert entered the stadium for the croc show, so we were stoked to be able to see them.

Next was the elephants, they were just awesome and their enclosure was great.
We managed to see everything in the zoo I think, it was a long day but we all loved it. Another thing we can tick off the list that we have been wanting to do for a long time.
