Noosa...

After Rainbow Beach was a little place called Noosa, there wasn't really much to do here and the reason for me stopping here was to visit Australia Zoo, home if Steve Irwin. We got picked up in the morning by a huge coach with Steve on the side and watched an episode of The Crocodile Hunter on our way in. This zoo was a strange place, Steve Irwin is everywhere and talked about by everyone. Every Television in the place was showing a Croc Hunter episode and you could even get your picture taken with him, they super imposed you into a picture with him hugging an elephant, I found this a bit weird! The zoo was great though, I saw some cool animals I had never seen before and got to hand feed an elephant. Then there was the Croceseum, a place Steve had designed himself and named it so because there are crocs in there and you can see'um. Here they put on shows much like Steve used to do where they showed how the crocs launch out of the water to grab their prey. Of course no one could do it quite like Steve could but it was still pretty impressive. On the coach back they showed a very sad documentary about Steve's last months with interviews from his wife and daughter. Back at my hostel, feeling slightly somber from the documentary, my last night in Noosa was spent just chilling out with some of the people in my room and chatting about our travels.
