It’s impossible to snap a photo of beautiful Brisbane, Australia without it looking like a postcard!
There’s some incredible wildlife at the Queensland Museum (Brisbane is in the state of Queensland).
Australia’s names for animals can be as unique as the critters…
Brisbane was just one day in our fun vacation that began with a whirlwind tour of New Zealand’s beautiful Auckland / Rotorua / Redwoods / Huka Falls / Craters of the Moon / Waitomo Glowworms Caves / Taupo / Pirongia / and Hamilton Gardens. For the second portion of our vacation, we flew to Australia, where we began our visit with Gold Coast. There we met terrific family, observed these exciting birds — and these too, hiked breathtaking views, enjoyed delicious eats at the beach, and saw this and this unique wildlife at Currumbin, had fun with Rita Rigby, and saw the beauty of Brisbane,, and enjoyed Sydney this much and that much, as well as the purring there!
By the way, there’s lots of good food to be savored in Brisbane besides ‘bugs’…
I’ve yet to eat an actual bug (that I know of). Have you?

I would like to have seen a Tasmanian Tiger, with their stripes and wide jaws. But they’re extinct now.

I’m guessing the Moreton Bay Bugs are a bit more delicious without their shells! 🙂 Another great post with interesting photos. I enjoy travelling vicariously through your words and photos.

You give a very convincing imitation of a baboon, Da-Al … 😉 … may animals are only to be found in Australia. I saw a documentary, and it seems like there is hardly an animal group that does not have this belly bag for their young ones. The birds maybe … 😉

Aww the Pademelons are like mini kangaroos, so cute. The Bandicoot one with such a long snout and sharp, devil-like tootsies is a little scary looking though! There are definitely some weird and wonderful creatures. As for eating bugs, that’s a definite no from me, now and forever!
