I was sad to hear of the death of Steve Irwin yesterday. The last time I was in Queensland I visited his Australia Zoo which is well worth a visit if ever you are in the area.


Plenty of kangaroos and wallabies there, naturally.



They breed them big in Queensland........



The Brolgas are renowned for their graceful courtship dancing and while this one put quite a performance on for us, the photos were not the best - too much movement I think.



This Darter took great delight in showing himself off and posing for us. Twisting his head first one way and then the other - almost as though he was saying - be sure and get my best profile !
