My Journey Round The World

New country,new people, same way of travelling

After my relaxing days in Brisbane in my little paradise, I found an austrian travel partner via internet & the Gumtree website http://brisbane.gumtree.com.au/ – given by an Irish guy in Auckland.

I first met Gerhard in Brisbane to see if we could get on well before we start the trip heading to the Great Barrier Reef on April 17 – just a year since my Working Holiday Visa for Australia was granted, that I might finally not use yet!

First stop for breakfast lost in the countryside where I could see my first wild kangaroos  On our way we came accross the Australia Zoo – www.australiazoo.com.au - supposed to be impossible to miss… Well… This was a really expensive visit (57$ which is more than 30€ per person) for nothing more than… a zoo… Ok, the giant turtle was amazing to see, it was also easier to see koalas and cuddle kangaroos – which I enjoyed, yes – than in the wild, however elephant feeding & animals show are not really my cup of tea..
