The Land of Oz: Day 2

Whew.... We are tired but we are happy. We woke today and, after a nice breakfast of Vegemite on toast, we grabbed the ferry to Queen St and hopped on the bus to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. This is a great sanctuary, but what was most special was getting to hold a koala. These are sweet little marsupials. We spent most of the day there. We returned to Brisbane proper and shared a sandwich at a cute restaurant on the river. Later in the evening our friends took us out to Chinatown for dinner. Now we are struggling to stay awake. It is time for bed :) 

Sorry for the brief explanations. Can you tell I'm sleepy. 



Jacaranda flower petals are everywhere.

  1. I always wondered what the heck vegemite was. Ever since hearing the song "Land Down Under."

    1. It is a brewer' yeast byproduct. Very salty and intense but creamy like a Brie or other spreadable cheese. I'm getting hooked on it :)

  2. I still don't know what Vegemite is. Wait, maybe I don't want to know either. The Koalas are cute.
