Australia

I arrived in beautiful Brisbane Australia the morning of April 10, 2007. I relaxed by the pool at the Hilton waiting for my room to be ready. The hotel is nice. Very slick, clean and modern...like a W but less cold and more homey. The picture on that link of the room is exactly what my room looks like. :)

After we got our rooms, we all took quick showers before heading out to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary where I got to not only see exotic birds and other animals but got to hand feed kangaroos and cuddle a koala. Very cool! I even saw a baby koala in her momma's pouch but she was in a protected area and I couldn't get a good picture through the fence.

More pictures to be uploaded soon. In the meantime please enjoy the Koala pics or check out my flickr sets if you can't wait!
