Brisbane
We landed in Brisbane at about 6am on Sunday 12th December, picked up our hire car from the airport and made our way to the hotel in Brisbane, where Teri was met with a bunch of roses and bottle of champagne arranged as a surprise by Matt. By early afternoon we were really tired so we decided to have a nap for an hour to help us out with jetlag... five hours later we woke up to it being dark outside and dinner time! As it was the first night of our honeymoon we went to Cha Cha Char, apparently the best steak house in town. After finding out that we were on honeymoon the waiter arranged for us to try the most speciality steak on the menu (at a cheaper price than it should have been!). It was delicious!
The next day, our only full day in Brisbane, we visited Australia Zoo, set up by the late Steve Irwin. The sun was shining and we had a great day, feeding kangaroos and wallabies, stroking koalas and seeing crocodiles in action. The zoo was so clean and the animals were incredibly well looked after, you could really see that the conservation of animals and wildlife was at the forefront of the Irwin family's minds. It was an early night for us after our little day trip as we had to be up at 5am to catch a flight to New Zealand.
Many thanks to:
Heddy & Tom for money towards our meal in Cha Cha Char
Gladwin, John, Maria, Gary & Amy for money towards our trip to the zoo
Rodney & Linda for money towards our accommodation
