Australia Zoo and Brisbane


Enroute to Brisbane we stopped off at Australia Zoo. This was another one of our highlights in Australia. Gaz has always been partial to a good zoo, and Australia Zoo is one of the very best. Steve Irwin's animals are all very tame, which means you can wander into some of the enclosures and feed or pet the animals. We fed and pet Koalas, Kangaroos and even an Elephant. We also visited the famous Crocaseum where Steve Irwin used to do his shows prior to losing that fateful fight with a Stingray.



In spite of travelling to some remote destinations, we’ve found that there are relatively few things that we craved from home that we couldn’t get hold of. However, the one thing that we’ve both been pining for the most (with the exception of friends & family of course), is a Wagamama’s Chicken Katsu Curry. Thankfully a little bit of internet research had helped us to locate a Wagamamas in Brisbane. Unfortunately the Brisbanites have murdered the Katsu curry. Dejected, we ventured out onto the streets of Brisbane looking for something to cheer us up. Unfortunately for Gaz, Tara found something to cheer herself up very quickly so we spent the remainder of the evening watching the Sex in the City movie. The only saving grace for Gaz was that Carrie’s wedding rehearsal dinner in the movie was held in a restaurant called Buddakan. This is the same restaurant that Gaz took Tara too for her birthday last year, so he earned some much needed brownie points without even trying.
