This morning we took the ferry from Great Keppel Island to Yeppoon and then had a really long drive to a beach town called Mooloolaba, which is located near Brisbane. We didn't get to Mooloolaba until about 7 pm. We set up our tents and the holiday park and then grabbed some dinner.
After breakfast the following morning, I went to the Australia Zoo with Philip, Kim, and Jen. This is the zoo that Steve Irwin worked at before he recently passed away. It was brutally hot outside, but the zoo was great. We saw tons of animals. Just take a look at the pictures.
Alligators
Venomous snakes
Wombats
Parrots
Kangaroos in an open field
Koalas
The Steve Irwin shrine
Saltwater crocodile in the Crocoseum
Tigers
This crocodile is a model of what one of the largest saltwater crocodiles they've seen looks like. I think it was about 26 feet. Pretty big.
Maybe the dingo ate your baby?
Tortoises. Until a few years ago the zoo actually had a tortoise named Harriet that Darwin observed down in the Galapagos Islands.
After the zoo we drove by the Glass House Mountains and then back to the campsite. We went out to a Tibetan restaurant for dinner, which was great. I've never seen goat on a menu before this, so I figured I had to try it. It was amazing. After dinner we walked by the beach for a bit and then went back to the campsite. I played some Backgammon and Hearts and then went to sleep.
