Action and drama in a theme park


Well it was interesting seeing some shows at Movie World and Sea World, perhaps animal trainers shouldn't cross over into drama. This being a definite case of cross something or other arts, with Sea Lion handler meeting pirate ship drama. Not very dramatic, but you can get away with it when you have a couple of cute seals.

Even better was the fact that their enclosure is being renovated, so it felt nice and close and personal on the lawn, with the seal coming onto land to do a painting? Well, it wasn't a Picasso, but we managed to get visual arts, drama and was that a bit of singing all in one performance.

Debatable whether it is better to just stick to the facts and do the entertaining through education or whether we need pirate outfits to keep the masses entertained.

The animal adventures where my daughter got to meet a dolphin was an absolute winner. Meeting Colin the dolphin and his trainer Dion was a definite highlight of our visit to Surfers Paradise. Totally recommend it.
