In Australia the school year is divided into four Terms and in between the first three are two week breaks. For our "Easter Break", we travelled to Brisbane , the East Coast and Sydney. While the temperature is similar, the landscape and humidity is very different. Green hills rise up close to the coast and there are dramatic headlands breaking up the coastline. The city of Brisbane has recovered from the earlier flooding and has a fantastic setting with the river winding back and forth through the core. I jogged through the Botanical gardens and across the river underneath the cliffs of Kangeroo Point in the morning.
With only a day in the city we took the kids to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. This time they could hold the Koalas for pictures and as a bonus- pet a dingo (no it did not go after the babies).
We then climbed up to Mt. Coot-tha for a panaramic view of the city skyline before turning South for the Gold coast.
