G'day mates! After a whirlwind first day in Australia, we've finally found some time to get to a computer. Brisbane is a beautiful city, and to answer what you're all thinking, yes....toilet water does drain in the opposite direction here...and it's awesome!
Brisbane has a very European feel and a very nice downtown with lots of bars, restaurants and parkland. The hotel that my dad booked for us in right in the city center within walking distance of pretty much everything. The best part about Brisbane is the amazing wilderness surrounding the city. You can literally be in rain forest and eucalyptus groves within minutes of downtown, snuggling a smelly Koala or, in Fiona's case, falling in love with and trying to steal a Kangaroo.
Before any reasonable hour tomorrow we'll be heading north to Fraser Island, a UNESCO world heritage site and one of the world's largest all-sand islands. I'll try and put out another post while we're 4-wheeling it across the beach. 'Till Then.
