On our way back to the states, the 'relo's' drove us 3 hours to brisbane for a 2 day holiday. I have been to brisbane once before and it is my favorite city in australia. I am working on my husband to one day live there. On the way up, we stopped by an aussie zoo with real live aussie animals. Of course, the kids love it.
In one area, you are allowed to pet and feed the kangaroos with the following instructions.
I was facinated by the joey's in the kangaroos' pockets. The baby kangaroos are pretty small when they crawl into the pocket. Here is a synopses of what happens:
...and here is a joey in a real live kangaroo!!
Here's the joey moving around inside:
Brisbane has a lovely public swimming area with a great view of the city and the river.
Brisbane is just north enough that it's tropical. We passed many banana and sugar cane fields on the way. We saw lizards like the one below everywhere we went in the city.
...and then we flew home! It was my fifth visit to australia and it's always bitter sweet leaving. Perhaps one day i can convince my husband to live there.

What a gorgeous place... I would move there in a heartbeat, I think. So if the hubby is hard to convince, I am up for the challenge. Oh, wait... I suppose you probably prefer the hubby to come long. :-)
