Another state, another zoo... this one belonged to the late, great Steve Irwin. Though it was quite expensive they had a refreshing attitude to public safety and you could pretty much hold whatever animal you liked for a price. The most expensive of these was the tigers which cost a whooping $450. We spoke to midget from Canada called Karl who had just done the tiger trail and he said that you had to have two handlers between you and the tiger at all times and you couldn't make eye contact (with the tiger, not the handlers). Now, for that kind of money i would want to be riding the tiger around the car park.
Anyway, Sandra plumpted for a $20 possum called Pippa and i got a massive tortoise called Igloo for the same price. This being Queensland it was free reign to stroke as many koala's as you could get your hands on so we did that too.
