Day 17
Fufilled a long time life goal today.
Justin and I went to the Australia Zoo, just outside of Brisbane.
This is the Zoo Steve Irwin's parents started back in the 80's, and where Steve got his start.
The guy running the tour was a personal friend of Steve's, so we got a behind the scenes look.
On the way there we watched a documentary about his life, and were told some really amazing stories.
The zoo itself was beyond my expecations. Steve was a believer that 'if you can touch and interact with the animals, you will fall in love with them, and want to save them'. The whole zoo is interactive.
We watched the famous crock feeding in the 'Crocoseum'.
Justin and I became Wildlife Warriors, donating to the tiger rehab program.
On the way back we stopped at a pineapple and macadamia nut plantation. mmmm....
