Hello, yes I'm a Koala...
Second day at Brisbane, we headed to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary*****. It is not far from the city, about 20 minutes drive. They advertise as being the largest koala sanctuary and we understand why! It is a place worth going, $28 for YHA members, normal price is $33.
There are so many koala enclosures here, and if you join the koala presentation, at the end of the talk you can take picture with them up close. Or you can buy a photo pass where you can cuddle the animals! It's quite expensive so we just pass.
Bird of prey show.
Erm.....
Our picnic lunch inside the sanctuary...
Smoked salmon sandwich =)
Little Goatie
The Cassowary, known to be very aggressive and can bite!
Tasmanian devil... the carnivorous marsupial.. only found wild in Tasmania.
CUTE.. A good sleeping position, saves the hand and leg cuddling energy...
Baby joey...
This Roo looks like an old uncle..
Nice ONE!
After playing with the animals, we head to the nearby Mount Coot-tha for sunset views. Can't see the sun set around here but the skyline of Brisbane city quite clear.
Ice cream again...
Had dinner at Fishmonger's Wife restaurant located in East Brisbane. Specializing in fish, they do really good fish and chips! We ordered the family pack for $36.90 (4pieces of hoki fillet) and chips. Then a greek salad, which makes all 6 of us so full! Their beer battered chips is really GOOD!
Since we had a good time at GC's casino, we thought we might pay a visit to Brisbane's Treasury Casino. Oh no, no membership benefits this time cause it's the same company as GC's. No free dinner =.= LOL. Anyway Ricky had a go at the pokies (slot machines) and then all of us jumped and take turns again. Lol. Yay won some $$$ ;) Oh there's no free parking at the casino for normal members, unless you're a platinum or something. But street parking near the casino is FOC after 7/8pm if not mistaken.
