The plan was for Rick to drop us off at Australia Zoo (or as Andy calls it - "Steve Irwin World") while he went and got the car sorted. We arrived at the Zoo just before 10am just in time for the presentation of the giant Aldabran Land Tortoise. Caitlin got to feed Siam, one of the Asian elephants, and then we watched the Wildlife Warriors Show which was entertaining but also emphasized their goal to build on Steve's passion for conserving wildlife. We enjoyed feeding the kangaroos and wallabies and got to pat a koala and wombat. After checking out most of the other amazing array of animals the kids spent some of their pocket money in the gift shop. We were quite impressed in the manner the animals were kept - large, clean enclosures and environments designed to suit the particular animals habitat. We met Rick in the car park at about 3.00pm -he was a little annoyed because the parts hadn't arrived for the car so he had hung around waiting for them to call him and didn't get a phone call until after 1.00pm. They claimed the parts wouldn't be available till Friday or even Monday so we decided to leave it and worry about it at a later date. We did some food shopping and cooked a BBQ for dinner.
