me with * JaffaLone Pine sanctuary was located a 40 min bus ride away from the center of brisbane.
And it is,according to them, the largest Koala sanctuary in the world.
i was told that visiting a sanctuary is a whole lot of different experience from visiting a zoo. And it sure is!
The sanctuary sign boardAthough Lone Pine is mostly a Koala sanctuary, they house a small handful of different Fauna and Flora. They have Kangaroos, Sheeps, Reptiles, Birds, Wombats to name a few.
Sheep dog demostrations or Koala bears presentations are some of the programmes lined up each day. And as a visitor one can look at a printed timetable and decide which ones to attend. I attended the sheep dog demos and the koala presentation. couldnt attend more cuz of limited time. I stayed almost 4 hours at the sancturay!

lambs!The Kangaroos in the sanctuary are kept in a park with ample open spaces. visitors can come into the park and mingle freely with the creatures. I found myself a log and sat down amongst a herd of kangaroos. bought some kangaroo feed and made some kangaroo friends.

the sleeping koalamost koalas sleep the major part of their lives away. Their diet consists of eculytus leaves and since what they eat don't give them a lot of energy , it is nature's decree that they have to conserve as much energy as they can throughout the day. So whenever you see a koala they are mostly very sleepy looking and always yawning * i know! how cute right?
