Australia Zoo
This morning at 8:30 we took a Busshuttel to Australia Zoo. The home of Steve Irwin (his parents founded the zoo), many crocodiles, koalas, Schlangen und unzaehligen Voegeln.
1 Stunde Busfahr, 5 Minuten schlange stehn und 44.90$ spaeter standen wir im Zoo und wurden von einer lebensechten Statue der Familie Irwin begruesst. Wir sind in diesem Fall uebrigens 2 Englaenderinnen und ich. Als erstes haben wir uns ein paar Echsen und Krokodile angeguckt. Ich moechte wirklich nicht eins der Gehege fallen denn die Zaehnevon den Salzwasserkrokos waren schon sehr beeindruckend!! Nachdem wir uns also alle einig waren das wir besser nicht mit den Krokos kuscheln ging es weiter zu den harmlosen, dafuer aber sehr sehr alten Schildkroeten. Wusstet ihr das Schildkroeten durch ihren Panzer fuehlen koennen??? Einer der Pfleger hat den Panzer der Schildkroeten massiert und diese haben so reagiert wie ein Hund wenn He is tickled in the right place. Of course they have not thrown the case back and his tail wagged, but one has been able to see that they have enjoyed it!
went after it the turtles to the absolutely cute wombats. If you would like to see the one they just hug and cuddle like a teddy bear:)
is what we have not done and of course prefer the first highlight of the day are gone - feed elephants!
It was a really weird feeling as this huge elephant very carefully wrapped his trunk around my hand and taken out the apple has. I expected that the trunk is rather rough because the elephant so yes schrabbt all day long over the floor. If he does not ... the Ruesselspitze is very soft and sensitive:)
Of the elephants went there directly to the "Crocoseum" - a huge arena is presented where a crocodile is really how strong (very strong), how large can be parrots (very big) and how to behave when one is bitten by a snake. Is Steve Irwin
you take a book and look first whether the snake is poisonous. If you are a normal person to tie a bandage (you should always have it) very tightly around the bite and calls the emergency call.
When we moved on after the show by the zoo, kangaroos have stroked and caressed the Echidna (Spiny small marsupials), we ran a guy with a snake on the arm over the road. I could not help it, I just had to stroke and it has angefuehlt great! Very soft and warm - not at all slimy:)
We went to the koalas - the second (or after the snake actually third) highlight of the day.
koalas have the same effect as wombats, they are cute and cuddly and in this case was allowed to even touch it:) The fur is sooo soft and here it was a great feeling to be so close to these animals:) Did you know that Eukalyptusblaetter toxic and have the baby koala at the beginning of a bit from the feces of the mother to eat the leaves themselves are too toxic for them??
Finally, it was still at the Tiger Temple. These animals are simply beautiful and just impress ... We have come just in time to feed and a tiger has gestelt on his hind paws and leaning against the visitors' window. Wow ... 2 meters or more it was great!
I do not know yet what I'm doing tomorrow but I think I'll just relax on the beach or explore before the adjacent National Park. There is a 3 hour's walk you can make the ... I do that sometimes depending on the weather;)

Invitation Letter Model Wedding
Byron Bay - Brisbane - Noosa
was found yesterday in the rain from Byron Bay to Brisbane rather unspaektakulaer. On the way we have between Surfers Paradise and Brisbane stopped for "zorbing". There have been only a few people off the bus and I regret it now have not made it, but one probably. yes I'll come again in the corner here:)
"Zorbing" is quickly explained. You need: a big plastic ball with a smaller inside of it (which is fixed with a few hundred ropes on the outer sphere), 60 liters of water and 3 people. These are then put together with the water in the plastic ball and rolled down a hillside about 75 feet long! It looks damn like fun but I'm not married ... habs
arrived in Brisbane, we were directly off outside our hostel (very useful with 25 kilos of luggage) and could then explore this city. Unfortunately, it was already quite late, so most shops already closed had and it started to get dark. Still useable, I can say very reminiscent of the Brisbane Melbourne. It is a colorful mix of old buildings and skyscrapers. There are also many small shops, clubs, bars and restaurants. Again, I regret that I did not stay longer but - as I said - I'll be determined once more again;)
This morning I had to once again make the discovery that the time before the alarm clock ringing much more slowly passes, as the time after the ringing alarm clock (which is where you can still lie in bed). So I am awake for 4 clock more or less, and I looked up about 5:30 every 10 minutes on my phone. At 6:30 then my bus went to Noosa. In the bus I could catch up on some sleep and luckily I am now more or less fresh and rested in Noosa!
Noosa is a very small, quiet town which I shall visit again - hoffentlihc it is not so far from the nearest supermarket. The hostel is surrounded by quite a bit of nature and located close to the beach. The people are nice and I feel great as always:) Tomorrow we
to Australia Zoo - Koalas stroke:)

Where Can I Get Trucks For My 6 Tech Decks
Finally .. .
I did it ... I was at the most easterly point of Australia's mainland! Fortunately
have made Sweden a diving course and thereby learned to know a guy who lives here in Byron Bay ... who declared themselves to sending you ready for us to play the tour guide and drove us to the lighthouse:) I'm
So completely pain free, in a well-tempered car (it was damn hot out there) drove to the lighthouse and back again. In between I've still I caught a sunburn ^ ^
But times .... to Cape Byron The lighthouse looks from Byron Bay, bigger than he really is. He can climb up but unfortunately not even the ground you have a magnificent view of the many beaches around Byron Bay. Then we had about 5 minutes on foot to run for one and now I can finally at the top of Cape Byron to say "I was at the most easterly point of Australia":)
highlight of the day: On the way back we still have a stingray and Dolphins seen a scrape. I really goose bumps went over the back when I saw the! :) It looked really great as the Finns looked again out of the water have dolphin and 2 can even be carried away to have a jump:)
When we were back at the hostel we went first into the pool, it was so warm and humid ... it has nowhere else endured and in the evening we went to the "Cheeky Monkeys" to celebrate my departure, or to drink to see you in Cairns.
Robin, Fredrik and Martin (the Swedes) are now down to Nimbin and I'm sitting here in Byron Bay and wait for my bus to Brisbane. If it were not all that bad if it would not pour out like rain. I had planned to make new flip flops To buy, as I have in my 5 months after a hole was gone.
Anyway - I stay in Brisbane for one night and then it'll continue to Noosa National Park and a look at Australia Zoo.
