ZOODOO!

Saturday a few of the southern YSA decided to take Bek Prebble out for a birthday treat..
A trip to ZOODOO!...

Spot the monkey...

Here we have some PHSYCO mini ponys... we were watching the other animals when this little fella started nipping the one in the background... so the white cute one started grunting and squeling like a girl! It was AWESOME...and REALLY LOUD!

There were heaps of cool animals at ZOODOO, including some pretty big ol' Kangaroos...as you can see it was REALLY enjoyable hand feeding the animals...

There were heaps of Albino Wallabies...they were nothing like the ones i've demolished with my car...
Then came the BEST part of the day...

SAFARI!

It all started out pretty tame, the tour guide cracked some jokes about big birds and children loosing fingers and we played it tough and laughed along,

Then we entered the...


DANGER ZONE

The safari bus we were on had these loud speakers and all these sirens and buzzers start going off as we enter the EMU yard...now Bek and I were seated right up the back of the truck and we were enjoying the thrill of holding our food out behind us and laughing at the Emus that were chasing us shouting "Come on little birdy, come and get some food" ...

Little did we know... The safari bus was about to stop... and someone doesn't look happy about the jesting...

D D D DOOOM.... Lets just say the next few moments were a tiny bit frieky...those birds are pretty big, but there evil looking eyes and sharp pokey beaks don't do much for them.... Lets just say that Bek and I quickly changed out minds about feeding the birds...infact all I remember is yelling above the sirens (which were still blaring) "I don't wanna feed the birds anymore...aahhhh" etc.

Anyway finally the bus starts up again and we are off...laughing of our scardy cat natures and pretending to be tough again... we yell "haha can't get us...goodbye" to the emu's...

However...

If you think emu's are BIG

Then how about the OSTRICH yard?

These birds are MASSIVE...

Needless to say we were in a worse predicament...not helped by the fact that some people thought it would be funny to hold food near Bek and I as we tried to get away so that those MASSIVE LONG SCARY LOOKING LONG NECKED THINGS WOULD PECK AT US...

Don't believe me??

Check out the TERROR in this next photo...

Come on you'd be scared too!

The rest of the safari consisted of Camel spit and goat drool...lovely!

All in all we had a great time...Even got to pat a Koala... Here it is sleeping peacefully on it's branch...I wonder what would happen if we pushed it off?? (ELLE!)To top the day off we headed to the horse races... Elle and Nicole took out the prizes...which despite what Bek claimed were NOT chickens...No they didn't win a chicken...they got something heaps better...

A lollypop!
And lastly...yes kiddies thats right... The TASSIE TIGER...Almost made me want to runaway and join PETA however we had a gawk and took some pics all the same!
