Finishing up on the Gold Coast
Our last full day on the Gold Coast, we drove up near Brisbane to a Koala sanctuary. This was something we had planned to do before we left on the trip. We had it marked a 'must see.'
The big draw at this particular zoological facility is that they have the most Koalas of any sanctuary in the world, and they let you hold them and have your picture taken.
Koalas eat the entire time they are awake, so you have to get the pic while they are eating. Which is very cute. We've got a pic of Laura holding a Koala named 'Gandalf.'
At this same park you were also able to walk right up to Kangaroos and feed them by hand. It was kinda scary at first, but you figured out pretty quick that mama kangaroo was just interested in the food bag in your hand - not kicking you with her hind legs like a cartoon.
