Brisbane

... modern city with tall buildings and a lot of traffic ... but little flair (in my opinion). Nethertheless it attracts a lot of backpackers (why? .. i dont know). I turned up at 4 hostels - all fully booked. And those were big ones with plenty of rooms. Tourism is at its high in Australia.

I took the opportunity of visiting Lone Pine - Australia's biggest Koala Sanctuary - to finally see a Koala in real life ... and they had Kangaroo's too - how amazing! and i got really near them. In actual fact, i was able to pet or touch them.



... that was the free stuff ... for 15 dollars on top I was allowed to hold a Koala in hands !!!
