Koalas, wombats, and other fun critters

In the water we saw an abundance of wildlife.  On land we saw the most wildlife at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary outside of Brisbane.   In addition to the usual suspects, there was a really outstanding herd dog demonstration and bird of prey show.  
 
The day after we visted the sanctuary we flew home, after a delay of three hours.  Qantas generously gave us $20 each in food coupns for lunch. 
 
Final Surprise:  One can use food coupons at the bar in the Brisbane International Terminal .
