Adventure to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane

First big adventure for the 101 semester called for a trip to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane. We had a new girl join the Sports Management program in January named Christine( she is from LA but did her undergrad at Cal, so she was good company since it was the Pac-10) and she wanted to do something Australian so what could be more Australian then holding a koala and feeding kangaroos? So after a bus to the train station and then another bus from the train station we arrived at Lone Pine, its first and largest Koala sanctuary in the world. Beside koalas they also have dingos, emus, wombats and various other animals. The koalas are kept in different area depending on age and sex so we got a chance to see very old koalas and very young koala even a baby one with its mother. Even though I already held a koala once, I had to do it again and of course get my picture with it as well. We got to feed kangaroos and see a sheep dog show too. At the end of the day I am pretty sure I took about 250 pictures of koalas, what can I say they are so cute!! Be jealous that I got to hold one again :)

Cheers,
