Gday possums!

I thought it was about time I logged my first entry of our travel adventures. I planned to do this when I arrived Tuesday morning but after planning what we thought would be quite a productive day we both fell asleep till the evening! It must have been the longest journey of my life, I've never felt so tired and confused. I think its going to take me a while to adjust to Aussie time.

Anyway, enough of that. We have started our journey in Brisbane which is a fantastic city. We are still trying to find our feet which is hard as we are only here for 3 days but I dont think weve done too badly. The first night we walked down to the Brisbane riverside, the skyline looked amazing all lit up. However, this was not before we had found a good old traditional Nandos to eat at! We also had our first ice cream of the trip before crashing out at about 9 o clock. I dont think iv ever slept so much in one day before!

Yesterday was spent at a nearby Koala Sanctuary which was brilliant. Lyndsey and I both absolutely fell in love with the Koalas. They are my new favourite animal! We even got to hold one as you can see in my photo above of me and Nivea the koala. They just looked like teddy bears but were pretty heavy and Im sure this one was trying to scratch me! At the Sanctuary there was also a Kangaroo enclosure where you could see the Kangaroos is the closest thing to their natural surroundings. We were also able to go right up to them and stroke them (which was a lot easier once we had bought food to bribe them with!) One of the funniest things however was as we were leaving, a bird said bye-bye! Just to confim this we said hello to it and it said hello back! Very polite Australian birds.

Anyway I wont drag on for ages as there will be many more messages to come and I dont want you to get bored of reading about my trip! Off to Byron Bay tomorrow for some sun sea and sand so Im very excited! Hopefully we will stay away from sharks though!!

Bye!!! x x x
