Going to Queensland! Brisbane & Australia Zoo - Episode 26

We started our Queensland adventure in the lovely city of Brisbane. Join us for a visit at the botanical garden in the center of town. Learn about the plants and the wildlife that inhabits the gardens. Enjoy an artsy day in Brisbane, visiting the city-hall and the modern art gallery. We then explore the "glasshouse mountains" just north of Brisbane, taking a walk in the forest there in search of koalas. Last is the visit to the Australia Zoo! We still have good memories of the Steve Irwin show, so a visit to the zoo was high on our list. Even the rain didn't stop us from having a great day there!
PS: as usual, thanks to Tamir for the music and Nofar for the great thumbnails! In this thumbnail you can see "Eyes Are Singing Out" by artist Yayoi Kusama.

I like you and your videos. It is very thoughtful that you have subtitles as well. This one reminds me of my day at Australia Zoo.

[@back2backpacking]

Thanks for kind words Jenny. It's great our videos can revive some good memories...

More absorbing photography! I live near brisbane; but I guess I don't look around as carefully as you two.

[@back2backpacking]

Thanks again Ron! Remember, the slower you travel, the more you see...

[@mrkoobne]

Very nice video 👏

[@back2backpacking]

Thanks, glad you like it!

[@mrkoobne]

@@back2backpacking you deserve it 😎

Him calling an ibis bird a bin chicken is absolutely feral! They are a fantastic majestic high flying bird that deserves more respect. Maybe if humans didn’t leave their trash lying around

[@back2backpacking]

I just love the white Ibis... Apparently in Australia they call them Bin-birds or bin-chicken...

[@glenmale1748]

Everyone in Australia call them bin-chickens.

Be careful touching trees and leaves in Australia. In tropical North Queensland there is a tree called the Gympie-Gympie tree, the leaves have tiny nettles that get under the skin and can't be removed, some people suffer with the pain for years.

[@back2backpacking]

Yep, thanks for the warning. We later found out about this "burning plant", so, it is always good to be careful.
