Week 7 Brisbane to Sunshine Coast
We headed up to Brisbane and stopped at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Here Pat was allowed to hold a Koala and get postcards of the event. We saw dozens of Koalas here and learned you don’t call them bears. In Brisbane, we visited two museums, but the best part was riding a ferry up and down the river during a rain storm. At our campground we met a guy from Lake Tahoe, who has been traveling in his Born Free Motorhome for 7 years and has taken it to 6 continents and 40+ countries. We felt like we haven’t been anywhere yet.
Everyone knows Steve Irwin as the Crocodile Hunter, but he also developed and owned the Australia Zoo. It is a different kind of zoo, with a strong conservation and habitat protection message. It was not unusual to see employees taking zoo animals for a walk around the grounds. There were areas where you could pet kangaroos and other animals (crocodiles excluded).
Noosa Head is an upscale resort town on the Sunshine Coast. We heard it was a good place to see wild Koala. We hiked along the Head and had great views, saw a few sea turtles, but no Koalas.
