A GLIMPSE OF DOWN UNDER

Just how far is Brisbane.....
In case you cannot remember the metric system, here is a refresher and an easy way to remember it. If you a running a 5K that is 3.2 miles. So New York is about 9,918 miles from the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia.














The beautiful beach at
"Surfer's Paradise"



The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary has over 100 koalas! You can hold one for a small fee. They are very bottom heavy and are not as soft as you would think.




The kangaroos you see here have been hand fed by myself and Wes. It got kinda scary when three were eating out of your hand so the food kinda got dropped on the ground.
