NZ has gone too quickly but we're looking forward to new adventures in Australia and 7 am saw us taking off for Brisbane. All ran smoothly and on arrival we got a taxi to the hotel to drop luggage then headed off to the koala sanctuary which necessitates a trip up river first by public transport catamaran then swapping to a smaller boat.
When we got to the koalas the first thing we learnt is that they sleep 18-20 hours a day and you spot them napping in the eucalyptus - and they're very cute.
We even got to stroke one 🐨💕
There were other exotics to see and we enjoyed ourselves until it was time to go back down river - we got off at South Park and admired the public parks with lush tropical plants and there's even an artificial beach and bathing pool.
And some cool birds called white ibis.
After a drink by the river we got back on the boat and headed to Northshore where we'd been recommended Eat Street - shipping containers made into a village of food vendors with entertainment too!
There was a huge choice but we settled on Mexican and Greek and had great dishes before walking back to the hotel for an early night. We've noticed a big difference in the heat and humidity here 🥵
