What Brooke Wore by Blonde AmbitionMay 29, 2013April 30, 2016

28 days. 3 climates. 1 suitcase. With just minutes to go until I board my Emirates flight for a four-week holiday, I’m currently in that blissed-out pre-holiday haze when all I can thinking about are what adventures are ahead and how jealous everyone else is that I’m bound for Europe.

My date with a 170kg tortoise named Goliath

Yesterday, I left behind the bright lights of Brisbane and headed for the khaki wonderland that is Australia Zoo. It was an adventure that had been months in the making; a plan between my friend Reshni and I that we would do a road trip to Beerwah on the Sunshine Coast to visit the home of The Crocodile Hunter.
