Lucky for us we arrived in Brisbane at 7am and check-out at our hostel wasn't til 10am which meant we couldn't have a room for a while. Because we're such good beans we set out to book our east coast bus ticket, buy our food supplies, get an adaptor and check out the library-internet situation.
When we got back about 11am, we had brekkie and went to sleep.
About 3pm we got up, showered and had lunch. We headed back out into the big world to check out some of Brisbane's old buildings. We visited a museum in City Hall and ended up coming here to the library to queue to get a computer so we could write you guys a blog.
Today, we caught two buses and walked 2km to Daisy Hill Koala Sanctuary. We looked around the visitors centre and saw the koalas inside before having our sarnies in the picniccy area. We were joined by a wallaby, some odd birds and a kookaburra, got some good piccies A birdie

 . We decided to do a 4km trail where we met a koala sat at the bottom of a tree. He looked at us and climbed up a couple of metres but stayed to oblige us with some photos. He climbed back down after we moved off a little, it's funny to see them walk along the ground. This is also where we met Debbie, a nice lady walking her dog Max. She said we were really lucky to see a koala so close up on the ground, she walks there 3times a week and it's rare. We walked the rest of the walk with her and had a good chat. We also spotted a roo but it hopped off pretty quickly. Kindly she gave us a lift to the bus station, we were very grateful as we didn't really fancy the 2km walk back to the bus stop to wait for a bus.
Tomorrow morning we're getting a bus to Noosa xxxx

G'day
Glad to see you're back blogging, we have missed it!!
You seem to be meeting a lot of good people in Oz, are you going to keep in touch with them?
Is it too difficult/time consuming to upload some photos?
Are you hoping to do some diving when you get a bit further north?
Everything is good here, another few weeks to the end of term, so things are winding down at school, Bea has her swimming gala and sports day next week.
Keep safe AND KEEP BLOGGING!!!!!!!!
Love
