Visited Steve Irwins Australia Zoo and saw my fair share of large crocs, snakes, birds, tigers, elephants. This was my pitiful attempt at interacting with the animals. I did feed an elephant but that just dribbled everywhere!

So today i have been to the Koala sanctuary and look very uncomfortable holding this koala - id just been told they pooh 80 times a day so suddenly i was fearing for my feet! Cruised back along the river in the sunshine and off to Steve Irwins zoo tomorrow.

Travelled from Byron to Brisbane today and stopped at Nimbin on the way - the craziest hippy community where the police ignore the drugs and crazy behaviour. The highlight of this awful stop was the maggot my friend found in her salad! Then we stopped at Surfers Paradise, another not great place - lets say it was like Benidorm, but in OZ and taken over by tourists. Next we went zorbing. This time a much better experience than when i did it in the cold wet winters...
