Tasmania Zoo, Launceston

Yesterday we braved the dreary, winter weather to visit Tasmania Zoo in Launnie. Thankfully the rain held off for the most part, with just a drizzle here and there...

  

There were so many wonderful animals to see...

   

   

Those snappy, snarly, growly Tassie Devils were particularly gorgeous. 

   

However, the big attraction of the day was the tour of Jurassic Swamp...

   

Lots of life-sized fibreglass dinosaurs, apparently made by the same guy who did the stuff for The Lord of the Rings. Roars and growls over the speakers added to the atmosphere.

   

Loo bounced around excitedly saying "Look, there's a stegosaurus! A brachiosaurus! A t-rex! A parasaurolophus!" etc.
Shmoo walked around excitedly spotting the speakers and trying to figure out how they worked.

In the afternoon we headed back to the undercover cafe near the meerkats and enjoyed cups of hot chocolate as the rain started to bucket down.
