Australia's Crocodile Zoo
There really is quite a bit to see at this park. The main attraction is, of course, the huge crockodiles. We arrived just a bit too late to see Steve himself feeding an enormous crock weighing about two tons. He was feeding it pigs' heads, whole chickens and other large chunks of meat. He would bait the crock to rear up on its rear legs and 'snap' the food out of his right hand just as he released the meat. Meanwhile, while feeding this crock that was 18 feet long, he was holding his 3 year old daughter in his left hand! Madness.
The zoo also has a large collection of poisonous snakes of Australia. We could not photograph them, as the display area was dark and flash cameras were not allowed. There were also Koalas, Tasmanian Devils (they are so nervous, pacing all the time, I could not catch one this time) and Tortoises. It was a very hot day, and the Park was full of parents with kids out for a final fling before school recommenced.
