	Postcard of Brisbane, the "River City"	Our first fieldtrip in Australia is to Noosa Head, where they have a wildlife sanctuary and a beach (hehe). This is one of the weird trees seen there.

A rather large lizard. This guy was camped out near the women's restroom, and seemed to enjoy hearing women scream when they came out and saw him.	Koala in the wild	Same one in a tree

Noosa Head is a vacation spot, so you see some nice vacation homes and condos		Next we went to the Koala Sanctuary. This tree is one of the first things you see once inside.

A koala doing what they do best, sleep.	Another one sleeping	Yes, you can hold one of them

A kangaroo in their feeding area. You can buy food and hand-feed the kangaroos.	Just sitting around watching the tourists	Boing

Wallaby with joey, now you see him...	... now you don't	Another wallaby or kangaroo, not sure

Emu	Tasmanian Devil, it just ran around its pen all the time and never stopped moving	Next we went to the Australian Zoo, and guess who was there, good old Steve Irwin

	Eventually he got cornered by the two crocs, and had to jump over the fence out of the pen. "Rats"	"Look at the size of those teeth! What a beauty"

Big tortoise	The huge sign outside	We passed this place in the bus a few times, apparently it's from some Australian cartoon (taken from the internet)

Some of us thinking we were still in Hawaii	Moreton Island, off the coast of Brisbane, a big vacation spot and nice beach
