Crikey! Get aload of this one!!

 It just wouldn't be a Qld experience without a wrestle with a crocodile, and so off we went to the local croc farm to do just that! We went to the one at Innisfail, you find these places up and down the north Qld coast! We got there early and and had our own personal meet and greet with the reptiles. Daniel was all excited but the baby croc was cranky and kept thrashing about, freaking him out just a bit! Funny enough it was calm as a kitten when James got a hold, as for me, well some one had to take the photos!
 Next was the snake, and poor Daniel got it wrapped around his neck and got a bit freaked out again! I had a hold and the smile on my face was more of a grimace. The one thing we all loved was the friendly black cockatoo. He went from shoulder to shoulder and decided that Daniel was his new best friend. This was more to Daniel's liking. Now a visit to a reptile place would not be complete until Dan got a hold of a bearded dragon, and cuddle one he did!. The croc talk was really entertaining and informative, putting a few fears at rest for me.
The place was littered with crocs!

Even though it was pouring with rain, we had a great time but soon enough it was time to head up the road, destination Port Douglas. We could only hope that the weather would some how improve.
