We cabbed it over the 25ish minutes to the zoo (and 80$ later) - side note, transport around the Sunshine Coast is pricey if you aren't brave enough to drive yourself...but there was no way we were driving on the opposite side of the road, especially with all those roundabouts. That's just confusing AF
The rest of the day was spent exploring this beautiful zoo which is giant and super spacious and not to forget super interactive. There are zookeepers everywhere wandering around and there are lots of areas where the animals roam with you- like the koala, kangaroos and lemurs.
I don't know if I can pinpoint a favourite part but we did sit in the giant stadium to learn about the wildlife warriors where they had tons of different bird species flying around as they taught about them. Also snakes. Yuck. Then there was the crocodile presentation which was pretty freaking cool.
Anyway- it was an awesome day and I would highly recommend this zoo to anyone visiting down under. Especially if you like being up close with animals. Now Willis and the bird exhibit? That was something else.
Tonight we're at a hotel at the airport as we start our journey back home (and back in time) tomorrow morning. We are excited to get back to our norm and to snow? And baseball? Gonna be fun!
Thanks for following along my live update journaling as we travelled. We'll be back to the regularly scheduled hogwash tomorrow- which is fun because I'm showing my fave Australian "souvenir"
