On to Brisbane, a few hours' drive away. At the suggestion of Sarah, the owner of the cottage, we made a stopover at Australia Zoo, a major attraction in Southern Queensland, near Beerwah. And rightly so; it's a huge zoo, a few times Burgers' Zoo. You can't get through it in an hour; there are dozens of hectares to explore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The park was founded by Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter, the Australian version of Freek Vonk. He also had a TV series\/documentary, but unlike Freek, who survived his shark bite, Steve died in his harness from a stingray sting while diving on the reef. Sadly, the park has been carried on in his legacy by his family. The park also provides extensive education and helps protect animal habitats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the park's size, we focused primarily on Australian animals, skipping the African and Asian sections. Tigers and otters stink, too. Koalas are also strange, by the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crocodile show in the Crocoseum, a kind of colosseum for crocodiles, was very nice. <\/p>\n\n\n
