Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

Forgot to write about the koala sanctuary... Em, Heidi and I went there when we were in Brisbane. The main goal was to hug a koala, since we couldn't do that in Sydney...
So off we went to find a bus. It was about twelve o'clock, as usual we were off a bit late.. :) Can't be bothered to get out of ben too early you know, hehe.
Anyway. We couldn't find our bus stop so we went to an information center.. Nice.. The lady sent us to the wrong stop and that really pissed me off! Why can't people listen??!!! *@#^$%!!!
The park was really nice though, I was worth the long bus ride. Anyway, Heidi does so many strange things that listening to her all the way is entertainment enough!

We ended up not hugging any koalas, we just petted them, but Heidi got to hold a tiny crocodile, so she was satisfied at least, hehe. The best part was feeding the kangaroos. You get a bag of pellets and go up to them, sit down or whatever and they'll eat off your hand! Amazing! I love roos!

The rest was just ok, nothing really interesting. We saw dingoes, but now I have seen them live in the wild on Fraser Island and that was much nicer. They look very different from those in the park, smaller and darker. I think I got some good pictures. I'll get them on cd later on.
