koalas and kangaroos and ferries, oh my



Brisbane is gorgeous. It's like a cleaner, warmer, more beautiful version of an American city. Today we went to a koala sanctuary and holy crap, koalas are adorable. This little baby and his mama are isolated so he can grow up properly. He was fully latched onto his mom and she just climbed up the trees and crawled around and it was precious.

Obviously there were kangaroos. There were a bunch of them and they just chilled out while annoying tourists pet them and took pictures with them. Watching them hop around cracked me up, but for the most part, they seemed to live a pretty lazy life.

We take the ferry to get into the city. It's the middle of winter and we can still take a boat to go downtown. I love this place.


I have many more pics, but I'll put them on facebook later on. I'll try to keep the extreme tourist pictures to a minimum because I tend to hate those, but I had to put the kangaroos and koalas up here because, c'mon, I'm in Australia.

Oh and I have never put pics on here before so I have no idea if I did it right. Oops.

Time to get ready and go out. Being legal here is pretty sweet, I must say. It is going to drain my wallet, but sweet nonetheless.
