    The Currumbin Sanctuary was so great. The area was huge and there were so many animals to see. I got to hold a koala and walk around with emus and kangaroos!

    What a treat,
    We went for Christmas Eve on an adults at childs prices docket we had. The price was definitely worth it. The sanctuary offers interesting talks and a real hands on experience with the animals. From feeding Lorekeets and kangaroos, to stroking echidnas and even the opportunity to have you photo taken holding a koala bear. My boyfriend and I loved it! We would recommend an early start to make sure to hear the majority of talks, the free flight bird show and eel feeding were awesome. The sanctuary wasn't overcrowded and we didn't have to que for anything. They only feed the rage crocodile every other day, so if your going to see that big boy jump you might want to call first to avoid disappointment. Make sure you wear trainers, the ticket price includes the zip wire adventure course which was excellent. This closed before the rest of the park though so you do need to plan your day to fir everything in!
    Would recommend to anyone, and we will certainly be going again soon.

    Coffs Harbour - Surfers Paradise

    Ce matin j’ai quitté le camp de surf, et après 2 heures de route je suis arrivé sur la Gold Coast. Ce sont des kilomètres de plage de sable tout blanc avec une eau turquoise, trop beau. Je me suis arrêté au point le plus à l’est de l’Australie, ça m’a fait drôle car je me suis dis que j’étais au point le plus éloigné …

    Koalas, Roos and Crocs

    Christmas Eve, what better way to spend it than getting to grips with your new country's animals. Getting up close with Australia's icons was fantastic, feeding the kangaroos, holding the koalas, stroking the echidnas and emus, seeing Dingos, wombats and having the opportunity to see a very large croc jump. Topping it off by zip wiring our way …

    Kangaroos, Parrots & Koalas

    52 photos

    Very early start this morning (much to Hannah's disgust), and a bus ride to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. We arrived to the feeding of thousands of wild Lorekeets, so quickly grabbed some food and joined in. Hannah loved being completely covered by the birds even though their sharp claws scratched our arms, it was completely worth it.

    The pizza place which we had eaten at the night before was opening solely to serve Contiki breakfast. It was a bit chaotic in there because many of the group members had to be served first in order to make their departure time for ocean kayaking. I brought along my bran flakes like a loser and had a nice bowl of cereal while most others waited for …

    We got to the sanctuary late only because the guy that was taking us had to go …

    Last day of our home life in the Gold Coast!!!

    Well after 7 months of living on the Gold Coast, our time has finally come to move on :-( We made some great friends while living here, which makes it 10 times harder moving on, as it felt like we had started a whole new life here. Over the 7 months we did some amazing things and it was hard to keep this travel blog updated, so what we have decided …
