The great nature in Brisbane, Australia. Hello Mate ! A common phrase we all hear and can't get enough of when we, Jalways crew visit the "Down under" land , the land of the great animals and spectacular landscapes. My first flight in Brisbane I was strongly recommended to visit one of the Australian's greatest animal santuary as known as "Lonepine Santuary". It's the only state in Australia that lets you hold the cute koalas. I was fortunate to share this opportunity with my classmate, May. We decided to take a taxi right away after we got settled down in our hotel. It took us about 20 minutes to get to the great home of cute Koalas and Kangaroos. We were so thrilled once we arrived, not only that we got to see the cute yet dronsy koala but also we got to lay around right next to the kangaroos!! You wouldn't believe how friendly they were. They were like movie stars, they loved the attention that people give them during their visit to Lonepine Sanctuary. During our non-stop photo shoot with them, one of the kangaroos would just turn everywhere we pointed our camera. He was a real star ! We were lucky to see a show of a dog who takes care of the sheep. He is one of the smartest dog I have ever laid my eyes on. He knows how to count sheep and always makes sure the sheep stay where they're supposed to. The highlight of my visit is being able to hold the koala. They were just so tame and so cute in their sleepy little way. They loved that affection and attention us visitor give them. We ended our trip with walking around the exotic reptile animals. This trip was not only fun but educational. I have never been such an animal person but after this trip I sure do love animals a lot more. If you have a chance to visit Brisbane, don't miss this great opportunity to get to know many man's best friends at this wonderful place " Lonepine Sanctuary" in Brisbane.
