Our first full day in Australia we headed back up to the Brisbane area (about 45 minutes north of where we were staying) to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. There we met all kinds of creatures that one would only see in Australia - the Kangaroo, Wallaby, Dingo and the Koala...afterwards we headed into Brisbane for some shopping, dining and to pay a lot of money to see Spiderman 3 - Barry just couldn't wait to get back to Manila and pay P140 (less than $3.00 US to see it).
