One outing we did take while at Coolum was to Australia Zoo. This is Steve Irwin's Zoo. We caught the Australia Zoo bus from Coolum to the Zoo. They showed old episodes of "The Crocodile Hunter" on the ride there. What a guy.
When we arrived we headed to the Crocoseum for the morning show. The show was ok. The bird segment was surprisingly the most interesting part. The whole thing built up to the crocodile segemnt. In the end the crocodile came out but was not really in the mood for doing much.
After the show we wandered about checking out the kangaroos, koalas, wombats, tigers, elephants, aligators, crocodiles and much more. One of the best creatures was the Tasmanian Devil. No he doesn't look anything like the Warner Bros. version. He was pretty funny though. He spent his time circling his enclosure. Making it very difficult for anyone to get a good phot of him. Very amusing.
All in all it was a lovely day. The animals have nice enclosures and look healthy. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The staff are informative. Conservation is stressed throughout the zoo. They are planning a huge expansion with a huge animal hospital, hotel, and safari. I reccomend it if you are ever in Beerwah.
