Teenage Koala Gun Crime on the Increase!

Well we've made it to Brisbane the kinda 1/2 way stage of the Australian part of the trip. I was really looking forward to Brisbane as it meant one thing for me, a chance to meet my hero and, I like to think, mentor, Steve(the Crocdile Hunter) Irwin. Australia Zoo, his home, is just outside the city, and it was school holidays, so he was bound to be there. Unfortunately we were not...we missed the one and only bus that goes out the 50 or so miles to the park at 9.00, so we had to come up with an equally good alternative. That alternative was Lone Pine Koala sanctuary, "The original, biggest and best Koala Sanctuary in the world". True to form, they had a fantastic aray of koalas, all ages and sizes, with the ability to pose for a nice Koala cheese shot(refer to picture blog), and it didn't stop there, many other exotic, unusual species only found on this strange red island. But as much as our amazment centred around the wildlife, the real curoisity of the park was not to be found in a pen or a cage, but in the cafe? For adorned on the wall was a gallery of photos of famous people hugging a koala. There was Jackie Chan, Cher......., and then an unexpected twist! There he/it was, calm as you like, not looking too much out of place.......... Marilyn Manson!
The king of the dark side, obviously has a more cute and cuddly side, perhaps even the youth of America can be rescued from their corrupted state?
