Today was our last day in Brisbane; tomorrow we take the train to the Gold Coast and Surfer's Paradise. In our last day in the city, we started by catching a CityCat ferry in Tuwong headed for the CBD. This was included in the daily transit pass that we had, and it was a lot of fun. It really goes faster than you'd think. We landed across the ri...

Schlussendlich habe ich auch die letzten wartestunden überstanden und kaum im flieger gesessen habe ich auch schon bestens geschlafen. Ich habe wirklich großes mitleid mit den menschen die im flieger einfach nicht schlafen können. Und endlich war dann auch australischer Boden unter uns und schließlich auch unter meinen Füßen. Schon beim Gehen du...

So we have arrived alive and well and feeling great! I say great because for the first time in a LONG time we both slept very well on the flight. We stayed up for our flight from Calgary to LA, then once we got on our flight to Brisbane we stayed up for the meal and then before they even pulled it away I was sleeping like a baby. At one point I ...

Today we went to the Koala Sanctuary. It was so much fun. The Koala's were so cute and there were 130 in total. We got our pictures taken while holding onto a Koala his name was Mr. Peabody he was so cute. We ate lunch at the Koala Sanctuary as well. We got to feed and pet the Kangaroos, we watched a bird show and we watched a sheep farmer herd ...

Brisbane Having experienced Brisbane (or Brisneyland as some people call it) a couple of times before, we weren't expecting much of a couple of days there really. But it turned out to be brilliant - we hit there at the weekend, & the normally sedate nightlife was barmy - it was hot, packed, full of life, & had a brilliant Saturday night ...

Was fuer ein Klimawechsel! Nachdem wir uns in Pullover und anderen warmen Kleider einen bequemen Platz auf der Faehre gesucht haben, schwitzen wir nun was das Zeug haelt. Aber schoen alles der Reihe nach. Wir fuhren also mit der Faehre zurueck nach Melbourne, wo wir den Silvester mit Pesche und seiner Familie verbringen durften. Nach den anstren...

G'day Mates, Today I went with Luke to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. It was cool but it smelled pretty bad and I think the Koala peed on me. Sean - I took pictures of all the animals for you! Love, M

Hey, Just passing through Brisbane for a quick visit, had lunch, paid my parking ticket (damnit) and onwards to Byron Bay. We stopped at a Caravan park just outside Brisbane (Caloundra) which after we parked up realised it was actually a retirement village - party town it wasnt. Oh Yeah - and its chucking it down. Going back to Cairns is it? 550...
