Billabong Animal Sanctuary, Nr Townsville.!!
As there were some families with kidz going up to Northern Queensland GBR/Port Douglas/Cairns i thought i'd mention this excellent animal sanctuary near Townsville, would involve bit of a drive south but it is our favourite animal sanctuary in the whole of australia!!!
Its the one place where you can hold koalas, snakes, small crocs, even a wombat etc, etc, we've visited lots of other animal places including Australia zoo but this is the best by far and its definitely worth a visit if you're passing.

Haven't been there but in our opinion Australia Zoo is too big, very commercial/pricey, our kids were very disappointed to hear Steve Irwin is rarely there!!!! hes often busy making films/TV programmes to enable him extend the place further...
another wildlife sanctuary we found that let the kids hold the koalas was The Gorge Wildlife Sanctuary nr Adelaide.SA. Kids loved it and as you say got some good photos!!!!
