Boat trip to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary


Just to start with we thought you would all like to know that Woolworths is HUGE in Australia, but not like home, it is a supermarket. They aren't like our supermarkets, just groceries, not even alcohol and they aren't trying to take over the world like esco and azda.

We took the boat to Lone Pine but the photos are at the bottom? Thats due to the stupid way the blog uploads the photos. So many of our blog entries are not in chronological order.


cute little koala bear sleeping with its joey.


some of the koalas finally waking up and eating but still many of them asleep.


they look so cool all curled up on a branch like this.


Koala's only eat 60 species of the 800 species of eucalyptus in Australia, as well as sniffing every leaf before eating it. I can't believe they are not extinct being this fussy. Worst than Marcus I would say............joke Sophie.....it was a joke.




Hannah was suprised to find a Koala in her hands?! and some how $16 had left her purse?! They can be quick and sneaky when they want to be :)



A Barking Owl which when mature makes a dog barking sound to communicate.



Found Buggies antipodean cousin.


A Common Wombat. Also the closest relative to the Koala.


Fresh Water Crocs

Kangaroo with Joey



It was just a field full of Kangaroo's. You could feed them out of your hand. Also you weren't supposed to touch them but everyone did. Also Korean kids just chased them everywhere so the woman in charge of the Kangaroo Enclosure wasn't happy. She ran after them with a joey in her shoulder bag.

This house won some architectural award in 2003 - 2008 (somewhere in those years, wasn't quite listening) Right on the bank of the Brisbane River

Colony of Fruit Bats (biggest bat in the world) - blinking noisy, but beautifully eerie


Looking back down the Brisbane River from our boat.
