Sealed in exhibit.
They do have a special show time but somehow we missed it............this was taken after the event. It was sooooooooo hot that day that I almost hopped in with him/her...lol.
Address: Seaworld at Surfer's Paradise
Directions: Seaworld is right near Surfer's Paradise
Polar Bears at Seaworld
There are so many things to see and do here that you could take a two day pass and still not see everything. The polar bear pavillion was really interesting because you can view them above and below water level. The kids really liked it too.
Address: Surfer's Paradise, Queensland
The Q 1
The Q1 dominates the skyline on the gold coast so you cant really miss seeing it when you are there. The Q1 is the tallest accommodation building in the southern hemisphere (not that we are making comparisons), but this is quite a feat, don't you think?

The tower of death (or some such)..
Dreamworld by comparison to Seaworld, seems to have a more convenient layout. It seems to have a circular theme that minimizes the walking to each new area but maximises the use of available space. Hard to explain really but when at seaworld I seem to remember I was all walked out in a short space of time, while at dreamworld, each new area flowed into the next.
Of course it, Dreamworld, is full of "rides" and while I prepared myself to go on the paddle steamer, we weren't allowed on because we had just purchased snow cones and couldn't take them on board....ah well, maybe I will go again one day. Given my various problems with claustrophobia, fear of heights and inability to recognize accurate body temperature, I thought it wise not to jangle my body up with any of the other rides around. I felt as if I went on every ride that my grandchilren took though and I have heaps of photos of them having the time of their lives.
Address: Just down the road from movie world

Kangaroo being friendly
Love the layout of Steve Irwin's Australian Zoo, which allows you to walk through many enclosures and get up close and personal with different animals. The kangaroo is always a favourite.
