Crikey! It's Australia Zoo

We have always been fans of now sadly departed Steve Irwin, Aussie icon of energy with plenty of Crikey.

So we spent a great day at Australia Zoo, the centre of activity to keep his legacy and memory fresh. 

Run by Terri his wife, and his children Bindi and Robert, the zoo runs a pumped up midday wildlife show in the Crocoseum stadium that has the pep and zing of the man himself. 

It's great to see cool videos of Steve on a giant screen inviting us to come and join him; and watch a massive croc getting his chicken fix. 

We saw a Horned Iguana reclining in the sunshine.

In the nocturnal house, a highlight was a lovely Woma Python, a rarity locally, being reared to repopulate their habitat. 

The Black Tiger Snake from Tasmania packs a venomous bite.
