Crikey Simon stroked a baby wombat


Did u know Andy that it rains in Austrlia and even more unbelievable is that it rains in the Sunshine Coast. I reckon on my last count this was the 11th time it had rained in the past 2 days :-)
Today was the day for visiting Australia Zoo, again its all about the nature again, just wait until we get to Singapore and its shopping galore.
Australia Zoo is the zoo created by Steve Irwin and its very obvious when you walk around that he made a huge impact at this zoo. The supposedly highlight of the day was the Croc show, however if im honest and i think Simon agrees it wasnt that great. It had some elephants, birds and snakes but the thing we was waiting for was the Crocs, and all we got was one croc who wasnt in the mood to play with the guy so only jumped out of the water once which really was a little disappointing.
The actual highlight for Simon of the day was him feeding a wombat. Simon being the gentlemen that he is, went into the area to feed them and let the other 5 people (women and kids mind) choose their wombat and he got the last one that nobody wanted, which was the baby one. Simon claimed though thats the one he wanted as it was the cutiest one, the picture we have got is so cute of the 2 of them.
My highlight of the day was feeding the elephants fruit out of my hand - that was cool.
Lots of Koalas and Kangaroos, and its like we are so over them now, yep they are mega cute especially the Koalas but we have seen them in the wild which is way cooler then seeing them in the zoo.
The otters were pretty cute as well, clever little things when they know they are going to get fed and its interesting to see that they have personalities and will react in certain ways for food.
Been a bit disappointed with the weather as its given Andy reason for not doing a bbq which really would have been cool as we wanted to see him being a true Aussie. Hes bought the flag, hes still pecking on about how great the place is. Him doing a bbq would have completed the true wannabie Aussie that he wants to be.
Before we went to the Zoo today Andy showed us the house that they had been thinking about buying. It was a beautiful place, 4 bedrooms, amazing views from the balconies, pool table. It was amazing to think that with Andy and Allison moving here this is the type of house that has everything you could want for and its at an affordable price.
