On to Brisbane and beyond

Once we left Coffs Harbour we drove up to Brisbane. We didn't do much although we did go out for beer, that probably didn't help either having hangovers the next day. When we finally got out to do stuff we went for a wee drive around and saw a beach and a waterfall. We also saw a big thing - see the next post.

Diggars beach, north of Coffs. (it was still fairly cold.)

Dangar Falls.

Once in Brisbane, we met up again with Kate's mum and Pauline. The first day we went to Australia Zoo, Crikey! As it says the home of the crocodile hunter, or not because he's no longer with us. It was a good day but not worth the money we paid. In 18 months its gone up from $30 to $50. We think they are cashing in on Steve Irwins death, a bit sick really. Anyway here some pics of our day there.


I'm touching a baby croc

Some guy thinking he is Steve Irwin at the show.

(I've got a small video that i'll put on at some point).


Tie me kangaroo down sport.


Kate stroking the koala bum.
(Comment by Kate: We were told to touch it there so that we didn't annoy it.)


The Barking Owl - It does bark like a dog. Kate found this really funny for some reason.

The next day we went up to Mount Coot-tha where there is a lookout over Brisbane.


Brisbane in all its glory.

We have now moved onto a place called Cooroy just west of Noosa which is on the sunshine coast north of Brisbane. We are staying in a small cottage owned by a couple of family friends of Kates. We will probably stay here for a couple of weeks exploring the area.
