Australiaaaaa Zooo!

Heyy, Sorry it's taken me so long to post! 

Anyways so on my travels I decided to go to visit Australia zoo!! (Of course, cant go to Brisbane and not go to the famous zoo!) So I am going to write a review on what I think and like or dislike about the zoo!

Once arrived, we went straight to get our tickets and then immediately followed the map to navigate around the zoo. I for one, definately tried to go to every enclosure they have. 

There are a few enclosures that I really liked the looks of at the zoo, those were the koala walk through, kangaroo walk through and the Africa enclosure, but all of the other enclosures were good as well, I just preferred these ones so I thought I would talk about them. 

I loved these enclosures because of the space, especially for all of them really. All of these enclosures I have mentioned had quite a lot of space to allow the animals to free roam. The Africa enclosure houses the Giraffes, Zebras and the Rhinos, which I thought was a good design, as these species do not prey on each other and actually live with each other in the wild.

There's quite a lot to see at Australia Zoo, the crocoseum (the wildlife warriors show), the reptile house and the recently added wildlife hospital (of an added donation of 2 dollars per person, which is understandable). 

I really liked going into the wildlife hospital and learning about how the zoo's hospital staff rehabilitate the injured animals that have come in. There were mainly koalas as they are the main species that need hospital attention, but there was a turtle that came in the morning we arrived at the zoo, as it was washed up on the near by beach and the zoo's hospital was the closest to the area. It was great learning about why the hospital was set up and how they got the funds to create the hospital. Below are pictures of the hospital and a patient in the hospital who is recovering from surgery (Pictures may be upsetting).

Oh and one more must see, there is a small education hut about the Irwin family and how the zoo started. This is quite educational and very interesting at the same time to see how the zoo grew and improved over the years.

So all in all, Australia zoo has grown a lot since I last went 8 years ago, It is one of the best zoos in the World and it has a little more improvement to do (but then again doesn't all zoos?!) but what I am trying to say, it is a great zoo to visit. I recommend trying to see all the enclosures and all the shows the zoo provides for your education and entertainment.
