Asian Express: Australia Zoo, Crikey!

I just got home from Australia Zoo, apologies for not keeping this blog up to date. Just thought I’ll give you all a run down before I start yarning about Australia Zoo. So my sister gave me the hard word last week.

Eileen: “ok i thought it was only me that got heathrow injection but dude you have eaten some pies!! i just checked out your blogpage. fatty! ha ha”

After looking through some of the pictures I took when I first arrived in Brisbane, I was shocked. She was right!
So now I have 4 weeks to run off this extra chin.
It is a good thing I take photos everywhere I go because I can’t even remember what I did last weekend without looking through the photos. I seem to have contracted a very contagious virus called Hangover-itis. This rare virus is formed when the human body is flooded with alcohol 3-4 times a week. Although it is not deadly, it does cause long time damage to the brain and gives you a second chin.

So here’s a quick spiel about last Saturday. Visited the markets in a hippy town, played slot cars, got lost, went to a cheese factory, ate cheese and yoghurt, got lost, went to the dairy farm, got lost, went to the beach and nearly killed someone with a Frisbee, played guitars, ate Australia’s best pizza, ate gelato, watched DVDs, sleep.
Now Sunday was different because we were all physically tired from the road trip. It went something like this. Woke up at 1pm, ate breakfast, went out to lunch at 2pm, watched DVD’s, ate subway at 11pm, watched DVD’s, drank warm milk using Tim Tams, sleep.
I must be doing something wrong as my cheeks are getting chubby.

Now, Australia Zoo was awesome! Getting up close and personal with the wombat, wallabies and koalas will slowly turn you gay. The best part of the day was the croc show. This 3.6m predator getting feed and teased, very intense. But before the croc came out to play, there were tropical birds flying all around the stands; close enough to touch as they swooped past your head. At one stage, there must have been around 30 birds flying like kamikazes. They also released about 25 white doves and they just flew around the stands in their group. I was so mesmerised that I forgot to take a video footage.
Australia Zoo is also known as Steve Irwin Zoo. You know, the weird Australian that travel’s all around the world taunting and terrorising animals to get a reaction.
The train back into the city was total rubbish. It was so packed that I had to sit on the floor! The 80 min ride home was very unsatisfying.
It’s after 9pm, I’m tired and I have about 300 photos to upload.
