On our way north to the Daintree we stopped at a wildlife park in Port Douglas.
There were many birds wandering around.
This is a stork, although we saw several in the wild before seeing one in captivity.
This looks like some kind of goose.
Here’s another flat billed bird.
Unlike the birds the lizards were just staying still.
As we had seen a little already, the birds have very bright coloured feathers.
They would check us out sometimes as we wandered around.
This owl glanced at us a bit but was really just trying to sleep.
Matt is not pointing at nothing. The whole area above him is a mass of canopy spiders.
They look like this.
They had one big male croc.
Importantly they had cassowaries. We probably wouldn’t see them in the wild so we were glad to be able to see them somewhere.
They are really cool looking birds and given their size, beak and claws we didn’t really want to see them in the wild.
There were a few chicks wandering around in the open enclosure.
They looked pretty funny.
The roos came by to see what we were up to as well.
The wallabies were interested too.
