Kangaroos!

Despite the name of Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, the kangaroo reserve was the highlight of my visit, mostly because you can freely interact with the many kangaroos in there. Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour, and buy the $2 kangaroo feed. You’ll have a fun time feeding and hugging them!

Koalas!

Fun fact: It’s illegal to hold a koala in most Australian states. It’s legal (with strict rules) in Queensland, however.

Bangers and Mash

May have drank that pint of Guinness a little too quickly. Taken at the Pig ‘n’ Whistle.

Eat Street Northshore

The assortment of food and vibes is well worth the ferry ride from the city center and the $6 per person admission (excluding the food). Once Bluey’s World opens up next door later this year, this will be a perfect after-visit dinner stop.

If you’re in Brisbane for the weekend, make a dinner night out of it and bring some cash (the admission fee is card-only, but you can avoid card surcharges at most food stalls by paying cash)!

Lucked out in the hotel room placement!

Chicken Stacker Burger @ Momo Chicken

Definitely didn’t fit in my mouth. You can try and see if it’ll fit in yours.
