K is for KOALA, KOALA, KOALA 🐨 (lots of videos!)

Finally the day has come. It's Koala day 🐨

I started the day with breakfast in the hotel and a trip around the corner to Hillsong Brisbane City. This campus is an old movie theatre. It was good to worship God with a few hundred (?) others. The music was so loud 🤣 two keyboards, drums, 3 guitars and four singers. Good mix of songs I knew and modern songs that had such obvious chord progressions I could sing them without ever hearing them before 👍🏼😁.  The sermon was from the Sydney Hills campus, being sent across Australia this Sunday. 

I then made my way across the river for the coach to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. 

I took 235 photos/videos - I have edited these down 😅

I saw Koalas, Kangaroos, Platypus, Echidna, Tasmanian Devil, and a Quokka. 

Koalas

What do Koalas do? 

They sleep...

They Eat

What's better than one Koala eating? 

Three Koalas eating. 

They also jump!

Kangaroos (and Wallabies)

You could feed them and pet them (though I let them be as I did not feel the need). 

Tree Kangaroo

Platypus

The platypuses were in a dark room and one was sleeping. But, I did manage to get a few seconds of video - slowed down. 

See the little white eye lids? 

Echidna

I almost missed the Echidna as I was looking for Wombats. 

The little pink blur in the photos is it's tongue! The video is clearer

Look at him amble!

Tasmanian Devil

Quokka

When I first found the Quokka (Quincy) he was having a nap, which was cute.

But when I went back later he was up and about. 

Then he heard his keeper and hopped over!

Some other bits and bobs

Dingo

Salt water crocodile

Me and my new little friend (Piney)

All in all a really lovely day!
