Day 7
Crocodile Show
February 21, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 88 °F
For lunch we had a classic Aussie lunch, meat pies! It was a photography fail on my part, I didn’t get pictures of it. They are basically single serving pot pies minus the veggies. We had classic meat pies, bacon/meat/cheese, and curry chicken pies.

While we ate, we watched the crocodile show. It started with many trained birds flying about, which were very cool. However, the star of the show was Murray, the croc! Wow, he was big!!!!Read more

Australia Zoo
September 15, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Heute ging es dann zum Lebenswerk von Steve Irwing, dem bekannten Krokodilfänger, der allerdings auch schon von oben zu sieht. War glaube ich ein Schlangenbiss, lange her.

Der Zoo an sich ist richtig schön. Allen voran natürlich Tiere aus Australien und auch einige Exoten wie Tieger, Elefanten oder Zebras.

Generell, das liegt halt auch an der Tatsache das es ein Zoo ist, haben die Tiere natürlich nicht viel Platz. Allerdings habe ich auch ein Gespräch mitgehört wonach es noch einen riesigen der Öffentlichkeit nicht zugänglichen Bereich gibt wo die Tiere sich auch aufhalten können.

Muss jeder für sich entscheiden, ich finde es toll diese Tiere mal so nah zu sehen, finde es schade dass die Bereiche teilweise so klein sind aber finde es gut das diese Arten hier auf eine Art und Weise der Nachwelt erhalten bleiben.Read more

Kangaroos!!
February 10, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
Visite obligatoire à l’Australia zoo proche de Brisbane appartenant au célèbre chasseur de crocodile Steve Irwin qui a inspiré le film crocodile Dundee et qui est mort à 44 ans touché en plein cœur par une raie pastenague en pleine barrière de corail. Pas commun! Immense et sublime zoo avec un parc de kangourous en liberté. Moment mythique!Read more

Day 7
The Austraila Zoo
February 21, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
Tuesday we made our way to the Australian Zoo, which was founded by the legendary Steve Irwin. We met Adrian, our Zoo guide. Adrian is in charge of all education programs which includes all volunteers as well. He talked to us about the place of the modern zoo in society, which is far different from animals kept in cages on concrete slabs.

We had some free time before our service work to check out the animals nearby. Adrian then took us to visit the tortoises, which was AMAZING! It is incredible how large they are.Read more

Service Work - The Australia Zoo Day 2
February 22, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 86 °F
Our second day at the Australia Zoo had us doing service work first thing in the morning and after lunch. I posted all the photos I had from both sessions here.

Adrian was there to meet us and get us started. He was called away to an emergency at the animal hospital but his staff took good care of us!

We broke into two groups again and were not allowed to take pictures everywhere. My group was in some public places, so I could take some shots. I did get a few pictures from the other group.

It was mostly weeding today. My group worked in the predator birds enclosure (with the birds removed, of course). 😁 There is a picture of a sandy area with a tree on the far side and a black bucket to the left. That sandy area was completely full of grass and weeds! The kids worked hard!

We also added new mulch to a few areas to keep the weeds at bay. The other group pruned and also weeded in a different bird enclosure. By the afternoon, it rained for a few min, and it was just enough to both cool us off and wash the humidity out of the air.

The zoo staff was VERY happy we helped them out. It was great to see our work having such a positive impact for the zoo! 😊Read more

Day 8
There Be Roos here!
February 22, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
Between service projects and just before lunch, we got to feed the kangaroos!!! Once we got into the kangaroo enclosure, everyone dispersed to find kangaroos and wallabies! I wasn’t able to get a picture of everyone but the kids had their cameras, so you should see some good shots when your child returns.

The roos are so soft! It was an awesome experience!!!Read more

Animal Rescue Center
February 21, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 88 °F
The Australian Zoo also has a fully functional animal hospital and rescue center. Adrian showed us the surgical ward. After that we saw the inner parts of the rescue center, but we were not allowed to take pictures.

There are a number of sea turtles with a bacterial infection that harms there shells, animals caught by hooks, sick kangaroos and koalas, and even a sea snake that was rehabilitating.Read more

Goodbye Australia Zoo
February 22, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 86 °F
Our time at the Australia Zoo came to a close. It was a wonderful two days filled with sweat, friendship, and fun. Alistair and Davina presented us with our koala pictures and thanked us for doing such hard work.

We were pretty tired by the end of the day, although, no to tired to visit the gift shop! 😉Read more
