Brisbane, Queensland
We awoke early from our chalet in rainbow beach to head down to Australia Zoo for the day. It took us a couple of hours down the Bruce highway listening to soft rock on the radio (pretty much all they have - they love their Jimmy Barnes) before we finally approached "Steve Irwin way" - the road that leads to the zoo. We had great fun interacting with the animals, especially the koalas and kangaroos that you could pet, and we really enjoyed the croc show...
