Off to the coast! Finally arrive at the Pacific coast for the Queensland long weekend. The caravan park was busy, but really well laid out so it didn’t feel busy at all. The kids loved the tall trees with creeper that were easy to climb and they even had Vivienne 8ft up the tree.
Fairy in the tree
First trip was to the zoo/sanctuary. Lots of koalas, kangaroos, wombats, turtles and crocs. Very informative and could see them feeding. You could also get your photo with a koala (had to be over 140cm, which unfortunately our kids aren’t), wombat, snake or baby croc.
Cassowary bit of a dinosaur bird, but very amusing watching it eat a tomato whole and seeing the bulge progress down its neck.
Kids never tire of feeding the animals
Wombats surpringly big
Vivienne was desperate for a photo with a wombat, an animal she has seemingly fallen in love with this trip… trouble is they are about the size of a medium dog and 35 to 40 kg, so I had to help hold, but she looks so happy.
Mum also had a hold of a wombat and we had a family photo with the koala and all the kids had to have a photo with a baby croc which thankfully had its mouth taped up!
Robbie then also got the chance to feed a croc.
Afternoon messing about in the park and quick swim at the main beach area called the Strand along with a fish and chip dinner.
