As most of the times when we are in Brisbane there are two places to go. One is the Australian Zoo (key word: crocodile hunter!) and the other one is the wildlife sanctuary in Currumbin.
We tried the former one, but as we arrived it was not only pouring rain without pity, but we had to park the car in an overflow, muddy gravel parking. Having seen the zoo before, we decided against spending the money under this situation and returned home. The next day we tried the sanctuary. Initially the weather was gray but ok. As we got to the Kangaroos it started to turn into pouring rain again. Sydney was, as always, excited to feed the animals. She spent a lot of time and effort into making sure that all the roos got their share of food. Meanwhile Tyler petted the Emu and said hallo to the salties. At 4pm we hit the peak of rain, just when the Cockatoo feeding started. It was fun...as already in 2005 we all were in rain coats and tried to feed the birds. For Sydney this was the first time and she was at first not excited to have a close encounter with wild birds. Eventually she warmed up to it and was okay as long as there was an adult with her. Tyler had a great time and was the bird's favorite.
re was no rain.
