It was a bit surreal, and maybe a little bit silly, to walk around a park to view wildlife which is abundant back home, such as koalas, kangaroos, parrots, owls, water birds and the like, but we donned our 'tourist' hats and got into the spirit of the day.
The wildlife zoo at Port Douglas also provides a full buffet lunch which was brilliant! I must have eaten 5 helping of delicious barramundi......

| This is a curlew, attempting to get comfortable on her 'nest' (you might be able to spot her eggs on the stones). Curlews are abundant in this part of the country and make a sound like a girl being murdered - their shreik is unlike anything I've ever heard before! Curlews are also part-nocturnal and will wake you in the your sleep with their screaming - they are quite unreal! |

| The almighty cassowary |
 |
| Jabirus nesting, a rare and rather beautiful sight. Apparently both parents raise the chicks together. |
 |
| This little wallaby is looking at Jase, who is feeding him. He gave Jase this loving expression for many minutes, which we thought was adorable!!! |
 |
| Magpie Goose, an annoying and greedy bird. And ugly too, don't you think? |
 |
| Another little wallaby relishing in being fed. |

| Buffet-liscious |
