Australia Zoo
December 29, 2006




After climbing Mt Beerwah we spent the afternoon at Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo.

Eh, ya been workin' out?

Even though 80% of Australia's species are unique in the world, we focus on the well-known ones...

The sun is almost straight up, making a very small shadow under this Emu.

Related to the ostrich, and sounds like a drum. Boom, boom, boom.

The koalas seem to spend most of their day sleeping... ...and eating eucaluptys leaves.

His shell is 1.5 meters across...and he's a few hundred years old. Makes me feel like a youngster.
