This was followed by visit to a Koala rehat center south of Gail's home. Here we saw the laughing Kookaburra below plus four Koalas that were in various stages of eating and sleeping. This animals had been injured or had a health problem, so were confined to the center.
The rehab center was located at a large park where numerous Red-necked Wallabies were roaming freely around the grounds. We saw around 6 wallabies here, some with joeys. One female was hopping around followed by her joey. Another came right in front of us with her joey in the pouch ( below). On the way home we drove through a housing development that is known to be home of many Wallibies. We saw approxinmatel 15-20 more roaming freely.
On Thursday afternoon we headed north of Brisbane to the shoreline community of Redcliffe. Here there is a tribute to the Bee Gees singing group. After moving from England the family settled in Australia near here. The tribute included the statue below and a number of photo murals along the wall of a alley way. Marion and Gail are seen in the second photo looking at the murals
Friday we headed back to Sydney. The flight took a little over an hour. Monday morning we head south to Hobart, Tasmania for a 3 night/4 day tour.
