Day 13

Lismore to Brisbane Map 205 km( 127 miles)

Diana Plaza Brisbane


Back to the beautiful Australian weather, we’re headed to Brisbane today; this is as far south as we’ll ride and marks our transition to the coastal riding. We stopped at a couple of parks / lookouts on the way, but the highlight was the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. I got to hold a koala (even softer than they look) as well as feed/pet kangaroos, emus and such, plenty of pictures. I know I’m limited on detail here, but I can’t put into words how cool this really was. I thought this was just going to be a tourist trap but it was a great experience and we closed the park down and would have stayed longer if we could.

We went out last night expecting to experience a Brisbane Cinco de Mayo as this was on the news earlier in the week. Well the celebration was quite weak, actually non-existent; guess the news had it wrong again. Brisbane didn’t disappoint otherwise though and the Southbank was packed. 

If you don't browse the full picture album, here are two:
