Brisbane is the 3rd largest city in Australia. So it is a big city.
One excursion choice was to go to Steve Irwin’s crocodile farm. Steve is dead, but his farm is still there. We chose to go to the reserve where you could hold Koalas (rather than crocodiles). This is a bit of a repeat of Tasmania, but we have not really been this thorough in figuring things out. (I’ve not been…Kathleen kind of has been.)
Our booked tour was Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary: the largest Koala sanctuary in the world. Their feature was a picture of you cuddling a koala. You buy their photo and you can take others yourself. We did this, and our “free” picture is on the blog below. The koalas really were cute and seemingly innocent. We heard about other passengers who held the koalas and had them pee or poo on their hands. So picture this on the bottom of our cute photo.
They also had an open area in this venue where lots of emus, kangaroos and other animals walked free. So that is where the “napping Dave” photo came from.
After the conservatory, we had an hour boat ride back to town. This was nice, but we have had quite enough boat rides.
Finally we had time in town. Kathleen bought a shirt with UV protection for use when we soon go to the Barrier Reef.
