We were lucky enough to have Terri Irwin and Wes Mannion do the crocodile show – you should have heard the roar from the crowd when she came running out! We must be lucky, because when we were there 6 years ago Steve Irwin did the croc show, we felt very privileged LOL!
Its very hands-on too. I got to pat a baby crocodile, a koala, feed and pat the kangaroos and feed an elephant! Last time we were there I got to pat a big python.
Anyway, it was a lovely day – here’s a few pics:

Me and a friendly Kangaroo
A big cat out for a stroll (I think it was a cougar?)
Under the Crocoseum is this sort of memorial to Steve. All the shirts that everybody signed after he died are on display, along with posters and poems and all sorts of things that people have done. It was really quite moving...**** ******
Other stuff: I started my new job on Tuesday. I was surprisingly calm driving in – I thought I would be super nervous but I wasn’t. I’m really enjoying it, and will be spending the next few weeks learning all the products and processes, before I can start getting stuck into anything much. I’m so looking forward to the challenge! It feels so refreshing to be working in a new environment too.
Training is going well this week, and thankfully I can walk again after last weeks leg DOMS! I have started a new weights programme this week, and I can feel some nice sore biceps coming on already, so its all good! I’m happy to be back into a routine and eating clean again, I feel so much better already.
Last night I caught up with Rachel and Sue for dinner. It was a good night, and it was lovely to see them both again. Luckily the weather has been kind to Sue while she's here - I think its still hotter down south than it is here!
Well that's about it from me. Have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend!

Hey Hiliary
Lucky you. Everytime we go to Australia Zoo, we never get to see the Irwins. Have been 4 times of the years and never been lucky yet.
Nice photo of you, Sue and Rachel.

I've not ever been to the Australia Zoo although drove past it all the time heading up the coase when we lived down in Brisbane. You're like me and burn easily, it isn't much fun is it. Hope your doms don't give you to much of a hard time, nothing worse. Have a great weekend! :o) xx
Looks like a great day out (put on that sunscreen though!)-Gosh, I did not recognise Terri at all-she looks like maybe she lost a lot of weight.
Glad you had such a fab day!
have a good weekend!
