A trip to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Brisbane
Apologies to Jogear.....I did say I wouldn't start a thread on Lone Pine as he has his own pics but can't work out how to upload them....but, well life is too short and I didnt go there and take these pics just to leave them in my camera :)
Despite feeling a bit hungover after a few beers with Jogear and Davearn at the Breakfast Creek Hotel, I decided to make the trip to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary.
I was in Brisbane for work, but it was one of those times where I am stuck in a place waiting for a ship to arrive. After a couple of days just beating off in my room I suppose it was time to have a look at the place.
My hotel was The Point. Nice enough place, some kind of suite room which included a washer and dryer in the living room. Most importantly there is a balcony for smoking. Was paying about Aus $200 a night.

Anyway its a trip across the river to the city, so rather than taking a taxi (about 30 minutes from the city according to the Lone Pine website) I thought it might be a nice idea to take a ferry to the city, stroll about a bit and then take a bus to Lone Pine.
The ferry is part of the city's public transport system, so I paid Aus$5.10 for a day ticket for zones 1-3, and that included the ferry and the buses both ways. Bargain.
