Koalas and More at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

The shiny koala noses must be rubbed for good luck!
We saw a couple scuffling Eastern Water Dragons. It was the time of year for males to fight.
Wombats look a bit like giant hamsters to me..
Bum in the gum.
Another scuffle
Sleepy Tasmanian Devil
A tawny frogmouth, sleeping in a tree.
The tawny frogmouth in the enclosure
Noisy Miner
The red-tailed black cockatoos were having a sweet moment together.
Sleepy dingos
Brush turkeys
Emu
Wallaby
Wallabies and kangaroos in the fenced off enclosure
Big Red, having an afternoon nap.
It wouldn't be a trip to the zoo without a token goat!
A big goanna.  I still can't believe Reid saw one of these in the wild!
Little lizards.
The bizarre cassowary

Brisbane Southbank Parklands

The Nepalese Temple
An Eastern Water Dragon chillin' in the pond.
Really interesting flowers along the river, in white and red.
Strawberries at the epicurious garden
Lemon blossoms
Pepper blossoms
Nectarine flowers
Papaya
Blue Java Banana
Callistemon, red bottlebrush.
I don't think I've ever seen red strawberry flowers before!
Mosaics set in the walkway along the river walk
Really awesome vine-shaded walkways.
If we lived in Brisbane I'm sure we would
ride the ferris wheel, some day.
