Welcome to the Zoo

The Australian winter had taken a savage turn for the worse, the temperature last night dropped to a biting 11 degrees and some days it was only just reaching 23 degrees. Here's me enduring another inhospitable winters day over here. Hows the rain guys?



By the way that wasn't the ice cream I ordered but I didn't really mind. I was looking at that one when I ordered thinking what the hell kind of flavour is that.

Today I was going to Australia Zoo, it was set up and run by Steve Irwin's family. In death Steve had transformed from national embarrassment to the Australian answer to John Lennon. For those of you unfamiliar with his work here is him doing a very tame show (for him) at the zoo.



It was by far the best Zoo I had ever been to, but the tour left us there for 6 hours which is a very long time to stay at the zoo, here are my photos. I'm all proud of myself now, having actually done a tourist thing.

Australia Zoo

I have been offered the job, but have decided not to take it, I really preferred Melbourne so as the worst traveller in the world ever I am going to return next week to the only other place in Australia that I have been to. I've given myself a week here to tie up a few lose ends and maximise my return on dating time invested.
