Australia Zoo - The Best Zoo In Oz?

April 20th 2010 07:08
Crikey Steve Irwin Australia Zoo Beerwah
In my opinion Australia Zoo is one of the best in the country. While Healesvile Sanctuary does important research, Fleays Fauna Centre has successful breeding programs, Currumbin Sanctuary has free flying birds, Alma Park Zoo is very interactive, Adelaide Zoo has rare, exotic animals, Western Plains Zoo has wide open spaces and Taronga Zoo has a huge variety, Australia Zoo has a combination of all these attributes as well as the charismatic Irwin family.
Australian Saltwater Estaurine Crocodile Maneater

In particular the reptile collection is impressive, with 22 ‘saltwater’ Estuarine Crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus), some of which perform in the Crocoseum. The zoo also houses numerous ‘freshwater’ Johnston’s Crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) as well as North American Alligators (Alligator mississipiensis). Other large reptiles include a sleepy Komodo Dragon, two huge Aldabran Tortoises and a beautifully patterned pair of Perenties, Australia’s largest lizard

The Indigenous All Stars Rugby League team defeated the cream of the NRL in front of a packed house, which included Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast last night. Spectators came from far and wide to witness this historic match and it took only three minutes for Wendell Sailor to open the scoring.

Choclicious Chocolate Valentines Day Gifts

February 11th 2010 08:20
Chocicious Chocolate Teddy Valentines Day Gift
What better way to win a heart on Valentines Day than with a gift of chocolate? It is said that the way to a mans heart is through his stomach, but I believe that is true of women too. Chocolates stimulating and aphrodisiac qualities have been legendary since the times of the Olmecs, Mayans and Aztecs.
Chocolate is derived from the seeds of the Cacao tree, (pronounced Ka-kow), native to Central and South America. The bitter tasting seeds are fermented, dried and roasted to produce cacao ‘nibs’. Cocoa (Ko-ko) powder is made by grinding, crushing and pressing the ‘nibs’ to remove the oil, or cocoa butter. Manufacturers add sugar, vanilla, milk and extra cocoa butter to make milk chocolate.
