The Wildlife Park was originally set up by David Fleay but is now run by Queensland National Parks. Mr. Fleay was famous for helping, protecting and breeding all types of Australian wildlife. The Park is run like more of a rehabilitation and education centre than a zoo.
We were able to get entry at child prices over the school holidays as they had a lot of the park closed for renovations but there was still a lot to see.
Australia has some of the most venomous snakes in the world but generally they will stay out of your way if you stay out of theirs. This one, however, is not venemous. All pythons are non-venemous and kill their prey by grabbing, hugging and swallowing their food whole.
We see lots of these near our place over the summer months but they're usually high up in big trees. I didn't realise how they big they are close up.
