Koalas and Kangaroos Apr 25, 2009

It's very easy to get here, buses from the city center are frequent. Would advise to come here when it opens so as to avoid crowd of students visiting the sanctuary. I've never seen this much koalas in one location. You can hug these lovely creatures, for a fee of course. Kangaroos are friendly, some are timid. You can get close to them and feed them (buy the pack of food for $1). These two animals are the highlight of the sanctuary. But you won't get disappointed as there are other animals that might interest you such as wombats, tasmanian devil (which we never saw, they were hiding!), lorikeets, echidnas.. etc ..

Once at Lone Pine my first stop was at the Birds Of Prey display where healthy young… Bye Bye Oz

Vanochtend, dag 9 alweer van ons camperavontuur (van de in totaal 26), zijn we vertrokken naar het Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, een park waar ongeveer 130 koala's zitten, maar ook andere dieren! En 130 koala's, dat zijn er echt een heleboel. Het is een mooi park waar je ook met een koala op de foto kunt, en dit heeft Jolanda… Op zoek naar Koala's ...

it did have the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. It is home to over 130 koalas. And, yes, we all got to hold a koala...and it was everything we ever imagined and more. The koala I held was named Rodney, and I never wanted to let him go. After… Last few hours in Brisbane...

Brisbane is a very green city with many gardens and parks:The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary,The city botanic gardens,Mount coot-tha,Roma street parkland....so you can do a completely immersion in the nature even if in the same time you are in a quite big city.in short it's a quite city,very relaxing… Brisbane,a very natural city!
