Ok, first full day in Australia and the kids have got us scheduled for stuff. The day dawned clear and sunny with a high of 31 predicted. Di and I walked over to Andrew and Jadine's place, about 4km. We head over to the Sunday market to pick up some fruit and have some breakfast. After breakfast we head north to the Steve Erwin Zoo, supposedly the best zoo in the country. The weather stayed nice as we did our walk around. We missed the cyclone that hit north of us. Lots of Crocs to see along with kangaroos, wallabies, echidnas, koalas and every other type of indigenous wildlife to be found on this continent. Andrew got some cool video of the tortoises! A very cool day all in all! The rain held off until we finished our tour then it poured on the drive home.
This hot humid weather is great for me although Diane finds it a little too hot for her liking.
After the zoo we headed back into Brissie for supper at a great burger place in the mall. After dinner we went back to the hotel for a drink before the kids head home around 9:00pm.
We are still trying to get used to the right hand drive. It freaks me out at a lot of the intersections, especially when Andrew makes an unexpected U-turn. U-turns are acceptable basically anywhere in Austrailia!
