This past Monday our entire day consisted of strolling around the Australia Zoo. The zoo is located about an hour outside the city and is home to the Irwin family. The first four acres of the zoo were purchased by Steve Irwin's father, Bob Irwin, as a rehabilitation for native Australian reptiles. It was also used to education the public on the small crawly creatures that live around them. Steve Irwin, who we all know as the Crocodile Hunter, took over the zoo after his father passed away and the original four acres has exploded into over seventy. Now the zoo is world famous due to the success of Steve Irwin.
I normally am not a huge fan of zoos, but I must say I had a bloast at the Australia Zoo. The handlers are much more hands on with the animals than I have ever seen. We all got to hold koalas, pet kangaroos and watch wombats being taken for walks. The crocodile show was amazing and the crazy zoo keepers really do get up close and personal. In the afternoon we also saw a tiger show that was incredible. All and all it was a good day.
Mom I wish you could have been here because you would have loved every moment.
