On to Australia with Cirque du Soleil starting with Brisbane as we make our way performing down the East Coast. Highlights for me were visiting the Australia Zoo (the conservation park of the Steve Irwin family), the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Museum of Natural History and of course the wonderful restaurants in Brisbane
The tortoise in the photos is one of the “animal encounters” I had at the wildlife parks. His name is Igloo and he’s a tortoise only in his 40’s. I was able pet and/or hold a koala, rhinoceros, giraffe, two large snakes and of course the tortoises. They only let you visit the crocodiles from a distance…
