Here are some pictures that I took on my trip to Australia from Dunedin. The places I am going to cover in this post are Oamaru, Christchurch, Gold Coast and Brisbane. :) I had heaps of fun there and I'm delighted to share these pictures with everyone. :)
Here are some pictures of Oamaru where the bus I was taking stopped for morning tea.. :)
The bus then headed straight to Christchurch after the half an hour break in Oamaru. Since I arrived early at the airport, I decided to explore the place before heading off to Gold Coast. :)
After the long wait at Christchurch airport, I finally boarded the place to Gold Coast. I absolutely fell in love with this place. Here are some pictures I took while I was there.
This is only a section of my trip as I could not find time to edit the other pictures... I'll upload them as soon as I can. Till then, I hope everyone liked the photos. :)
Cheers

 |
| Gold Coast... :) |
 |
| Look who I found in the streets of Gold Coast.. :) Hahaha. Spotted him at Surfers Paradise. He was actually really good at juggling those soccer balls. |
 |
| Another view of Gold Coast from the cruise. |
 |
| Taking time out to reflect on what he has done... Haha.. :) |
We then took the Airtrain headed for Brisbane.
 |
| At the Plaza... |

Since I was already in Australia, I thought that it would be a waste if I didn't see a koala or a kangaroo so I decided to head to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. I was mesmerized by this place and it was definitely a right choice to visit this place...
 |
| Fierce looking eagle... |
 |
| Kangaroo crossing.... Hahaha |
 |
 |
| You get what I meant when I say this place was absolutely breath-taking... |
 |
| Cute little ponies... :) ps: I think it was a kid who was playing with the mane. Not me... |
 |
| Feeding time... :) |
 |
| Nap time... Looks cute when the pigeons surrounded the kangaroo... |
 |
| Sleeping koala... :) |
 |
| My first encounter with an emu too.... :) |
 |
| It's happily greeting me... :) |
 |
| I like the fact that this koala is sleeping with a big smile on its face... :) |
 |
| This was an active koala. Apparently koalas spend about 20 hours a day sleeping.... Hmmm... Maybe I should be a koala.. :) |
 |
| A lizard decided to casually walk in front of me and scared the guts out of me... Hmmmm.. |
 |
| Tasmanian devil... It was a very active one indeed. |
