Don't Call Them a Bear!

We rolled into Brisbane today to go to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. Met this soft little guy:


Koala's are marsupials, NOT bears! This is where we were told that if we said "koala bear", we would sound like a Yank! Heaven knows, we don't want to sound like a Yank! Oh, yea...........we are one.......

This was kind of like a mini zoo. Enjoy our trek through the Australian animals! (we tried to bypass anything that we could actually see at home)

Above: wombat


Above: see the joey sticking out of her pouch?



Above: now, I've seen some dogs sleep like this, but a kangaroo?





Above: wallaby



Maybe you're wondering why there aren't more pictures of koalas seeings how it's a koala sanctuary. Ya know, all they do is hide in trees and sleep 18-20 hours a day. What a life!


And so we end our pleasant visit to the sanctuary.

It's time to meet up with our friends, Russ and Dora! We'll be with them for the next week. 


Cheers!
