O.k. you all, we had the most amazing day. Before we left the states, I saw that there was a koala refuge about 20 miles from Brisbane (actually it is about 10 minutes from our hotel in Darra). We went there on Thurs. This place is absolutely awe-inspiring. It is basically just Koala's and kangeroos; but, we were able to spend 4 hours walking around, sitting and starring at these amazing creatures. There were pens of male koalas, pouch koalas, year old koalas, the retirement home etc. At lunch we sat in this open air pavilion that had tree stumps holding koalas. We were probably surrounded by 40 koalas. The best part is they were quite active for the time that we were eating lunch. Cas got some great video. One of our favorite parts was the kangeroos. We went into a fenced area that housed 150 roos. we were able to walk around and feed them. I am not able to express the excitement that this brought to all of us. we were able to pet, cuddle and feed them. A great thing about this place is that they take very good care of the animals.
For those who choose to visit us, this is a place that we will take you to :-)
