Our visit to Australia Zoo

I've wanted to take Spencer to Australia Zoo for ages so on Saturday, 28 November 2009, we finally got to go. I had said I didn't want to go on a day which was too hot. This day they were predicting a top of 30 degrees with possible thunder storms in the afternoon so we thought we'd risk the weather.

Well the storm hit at around 12.30pm whilst we were in the kangaroo enclosure so we ended up stranded with around 15 kangaroos and 20 other people under a shelter for around 1.5 hours enduring torrential rain, strong winds, thunder, lightening and hail! We finally made a dash for it once the rain had eased off and managed to get only slightly wet...ok we were damp!

The rain persisted but only light showers so we were still able to walk around without getting too wet. The rain actually cooled things down a lot and in the end we had a really great day!

Here are a few pics from the day ♥
