Guys: I had no idea it would be this difficult to access the Internet. I've been able to check email, but there's just been junk in my inbox. I feel sure we'll have better luck in Sydney, so I'll try to keep up.
We made it out to Australia Zoo today and spent the entire day there. It's expensive, but you do get the opportunity to get quite close to the animals (especially koalas). The only extra event we paid for was a tour of the animal hospital that receives injured or sick local wildlife. There were a lot of koalas there -- hit by cars, attacked by dogs, or sick. One little guy had been blinded in a dog attack, and another patient had the cutest little joey climbing all over her.
We got to feed and pet several kangaroos, too, but it wasn't the same as when we got to hold Mouse in Daintree. All in all, it was a good experience. We have yet to see Tasmanian devils, echidnas, or platypus, but maybe in Sydney. The real blessing was that there weren't very many visitors at the zoo, owing to the time of year and the cool, damp weather, so we didn't have to fight crowds. Ditto for Mooloolaba, generally.
