I'm just back from a week long break in QLD, Aust - traveling around Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast with Haz, Max, Chris and Eug. After a week's break from blogging, I will blog about the fun bits of this long awaited trip over the next few posts. Frens planning a visit to Australia can use the info as reference for your itinerary planning! Haha..
Day 1 - Sydney - Brisbane - Sunshine Coast
First stop after collecting our rented car from Brisbane Domestic Airport: Australia Zoo - Home of the Croc Hunter (Steve Irwin).
The Zoo was opened as a private zoo in 1970 by Steve Irwin's parents, called the Beerwah Reptile Park. In 1992, Steve Irwin and wife took over mgt of the Zoo and they had undertaken huge efforts in promoting the conservation of precious wildlife through exciting education of the public.
Compared to the Singapore Zoo, it definitely pale in comparison but given that it houses quite a number of Australian wildilfe, it is definitely worth a visit as you can get up close with animals like kangaroos, koalas, wombats, tasmania devils and even Crocs during the wildlife show held in the 'world famous Animal Planet Crocoseum'...

After touring the Zoo, Max drove Haz and I to Noosa Heads as both of us will be going on a 1 day tour of Fraser Island the next day. Both of us will meet up with the others late tomorrow after our tour of the very popular tourism destination in Australia off the south of QLD coast.
To be continued....
