Day Two - 29/4

Day Two

An early morning rise this morning, so that we could make the 45 minute drive to Beerwah which is where Australia Zoo is. Along the way we saw the beautiful Glass House Mountains in the distance. Australia Zoo is unlike any other zoo that I have been to. It is just awesome for the kids (and adults!). As soon as we walked in, there were 2 staff members standing there with a beautiful Blue Macaw and also a lizard of some sort. You could pat and get photos taken with these animals. Throughout the day they have feeding times for different animals, and there you can interact/pat the animals and get your photos taken with them. They also have times around the zoo for you to get photos (tho not interacting) with different animals. You can take photos, or use the one provided by the zoo - however they come at a cost! $9.95 per 6x4 print :(

We paid for a few different animals - a family shot with me holding a koala, a family shot with the boys holding an alligator and also a photo of Clint and Brayden with an eagle. We also went to the famous crocoseum and watched their show Wildlife Warriors.
After we finished at Australia Zoo, we went for a scenic tour up to the Sunshine Coast. The Sunshine Coast consists of a group of several towns. The towns we visited were Coolum Beach, Yaroomba, Maroochydore and Mooloolaba. The towns very much reminded me of Yallingup/Bunbury/Margaret River region.
We're heading into the city tomorrow, aswell as Southbank. Should be fun :D
