This morning we were up early and off to the Parap markets, they are great and we met up with Nathan, Megan, Jorja, Emily, Mel, Glenn, James, and Sam. I love the aromas at these markets plenty of food, jewelry, clothes, paintings and much more. One very popular stall was the one with the croc teeth necklaces they also had a lizard and snake you can hold & get a photo for a gold coin donation. All of us kids had a go!

Then off to Crocosaurus Cove, this is the new attraction done by the same people who used to run the Crocodile Farm that is now closed. The Crocosaurus Cove is right in the city on Mitchell street, it was quite good

We saw & held some more reptiles, watch some people get lowered into the Cage of Death, that is being lowered into the Big Croc cages inside a perplex cage……. mmmmmm still not sure I could do that! Kirsten, Jason & Andy swam in a tank with heaps of metre sized crocs on the other side of the glass, and then the kids fed these crocs with buffalo meat on a fishing rod, very snappy little critters.


After lunch we met up with everyone down at the wave pool this is such a great idea that the government has come up with, only $16 for a family all day that is cheap as. We spent a good 4 hours there, they have 4 different sets of waves they run there, some of them made me a bit sea sick when sitting in the tubes that are provided (they also supply boogie boards) even the little girls got amongst it. I am sure I can vouch for everyone that it is a great work out therefore we were all left very tired and ready for bed. We all met Dad & Jan at the Trailer Boat Club or dinner, I thought the meals were a little expensive for a club, but when the meals came out they were a huge serving so I guess that’s why they are priced like that. An early night & off to bed.
