mt cootha botanical gardens are worth a look,heaps of huge water dragons everywhere,not sure if they are out year round?another good place we went was o`reilly`s at laminton national park,abit of a drive inland up in the hills behind surfers,take your own sunflower seed,heaps of wild king parrots and crimsom rosellas come down to feed from your hand,head where ever.Saw a good shop in southport but can`t remember the name sorry,they had a tank full of juvenile barramundi inthere.
