Zoos in/around Cairns

I was amped to see this thread! Me and my girlfriend are going to Cairns in October and it's been great to read about some of the places. The Cairns Wildlife Safari sounds the best, that's the only one with lions, tigers etc, right?

Yup, if tigers and lions are what you want to see, then Cairns Wildlife Safari would be the place to visit.

Wait-A-While does pick up and drop off from Cairns but what I heard from someone in the know (mind this was a couple of years ago) is that whilst the company was started by a local naturalist and it was really good, it was later taken over by people who didn't really know their stuff and the sightings of good wildlife declined markedly (and some of the possum species they claim you have the opportunity to see don't even occur in the areas they visit!). I have no idea if that is still the case however.

I know this is a fairly old thread/post and you may have found out this already but I actually asked the tour guide (who is also the owner of Wait-a-while tours) about this and apparently he is the third owner and he bought the company a few years ago.
I was wondering if nanoboy had the same guy as I did or if he had someone else - do you remember if your tour guide was a guy named Paul who was originally English?
