A Crocodile Farm &Zoo / Big Bats Fill the Sky

We have arrived in Port Douglas. It is beautiful and hot hot hot. On the way, we stopped at a place that is both a crocodile zoo and a crocodile farm. The crocs are grown, raised and killed for meat and hides and a tiny market in facial cream. This cream is amazing. It is my secret :). We started the zoo part with a boat tour through 30 crocodiles. The guide had chickens on a stick. She would tap the water with the chicken and then we would watch the crocs jump from the water to try and grab the chicken. 

They were for the most part not successful. The croc would get mad and we were a few feet from the boats edge. After this we went on a tour of the croc farm. We saw baby crocs and crocs ready to be killed. The town and our accommodation is very lovely. We have a balcony with an ocean view and a pretty apartment. The accommodation has every toy imaginable for us. It has bikes we can use, a ton of beach toys, books and puzzles, Netflix and prime. It is overwhelming. In addition to the beach they also have a lovely pool. Tonight we had dinner in a wonderful restaurant across the road from an historical park called Anzac Park. The Park was where Churchill led Australians and New Zealanders to slaughter in World War 1. As we ate dinner the trees were loaded down with these birds that were making an incredibly loud noise. Right at sunset they stop and leave.  We left but apparently once they are gone the sky fills with flying foxes. These are bats that are quite large and look like foxes with bat wings.
