BEAUTIFUL BRISBANE
The Philippine Star|November 28, 2024
One cannot visit Australia without seeing a koala or a kangaroo! Brisbane's Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is the first and largest koala sanctuary in Australia, founded in 1927.

BEAUTIFUL BRISBANE

The park, all of 18 hectares, houses around 80 species of Australian animals. This is where one can get close to and even pet kangaroos and koalas. The sanctuary is also home to 75 Australian animals such as platypuses, wombats, lorikeets, and dingoes. Koalas are now endangered due to deforestation, disease, and animal attacks. They live up to 10 years on average, but at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, they live up to 15 years old!

Brisbane never runs out of fantastic places to eat. Agnes Restaurant is one of the top restaurants to dine in. A great place to have an eclectic yet delicious cuisine such as Sydney rock oysters, sourdough crumpets with tuna and caviar, bottarga toast, babi guling doughnut, tartelette of Jerusalem artichoke, and quail in harissa sauce. The highlight was our perfectly cooked Stockyard beef's Kiwami Wagyu short loin 9+ and Angus ribeye! Agnes also has a bakery which is a great place to have breakfast! Their coffee and very flaky pies make it worth waking up early and going to this takeaway-only place.
