Lone Pine

 [May 3, 2012]
In Brisbane having a great time!! We went to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and we got to hold koalas so awesome. It was a once in a lifetime experience; their fur was not as soft as some may think, and they have claws that are long and they cling to you just they would a tree! I learned that koalas are marsupials just like the kangaroo, I did not know this. Many people call them koala bears but they are not actually bears. We also went to Fraser Island for a night, this was a really great experience, while driving along the beach we saw live dingos. We were also introduced to many different plant species and other animals. Many of the group swam in the lakes and we all swam in the creek. It was really nice to have our feet in the sand in May and have a good time just relaxing like we were at the beach!!
