Australia

Before leaving Brisbane Sarah and I went to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. This was a pretty neat zoo. Saw dingos, birds, reptiles, got to pet kangaroos and also hold a Koala. The kangaroos and Koala were suprisingly soft and the male koala have an unusual scent that is reminiscent of the eucalyptis trees. After leaving Brisbane we went and stayed with a family near surfers paradise for a few days. This family runs a nursery with all kinds of strange plants.
Indy week or is it weekend I'm not sure was going on in Surfers Paradise. During this event the city closes down streets and sets up a racetrack that runs formula 1 and some other cars but I dont know the types. The city is like a big party there were drunk people on the bus and every corner, streets closed and parades. It was fun but it was good to keep moving. Being unable to find accomodation in town we ended up locking our bags up in the lockers and sleeping on the beach. This turned out to be great as the sunrise was amazing.
Byron Bay was nice but the backpackers was to expensive for a crowded room and funky bathrooms, but the beach was beautiful. And now we are in Woolgoolga. There is hardly a sentence about this town in my guide book so it is small and has a great atmosphere. Staying at a holiday park right on the beach and paying about the same as we would at a hostle. Liked itt so much we are staying 3 nights. Tomorrow night we go to Sydney. Yay for getting to sleep on the bus again.
I have also put new pictures up there are the remainder of my New Zealand pictures and my Australia ones up until now.
