Cairns Tropical Zoo
Hundreds of indigenous and exotic species of animals have been
gathered in the Cairns Tropical Zoo to delight young and old, who
can explore six hectares of tropical landscaped gardens and
interact with the animals. Pet a koala or stroke a snake, and meet
(not too close in this case) the largest living crocodile in the
world, 'Sarge', who has lived in the park for more than 20 years.
The zoo is dedicated to engendering a greater understanding of the
wildlife of the area and promoting the preservation of their
natural habitats.

commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
