Gold coast & Surfers paradise

As some might know, I recently came back from a little trip at the Gold coast where I visited Anders. The Gold coast is definitely very different from Melbourne. Its more relaxed, super nice beaches along the whole coast and generally much smaller conditions, as to houses, roads, traffic and less people. We biked a couple of times up to Surfers paradise, spent a day at Kingscliff, went to a local zoo and saw the view from one of the highest buildings in Australia.

A lovely home in Miami!          


Entering Wildlife Currumbin Sanctuary, I found a pink hat! Yep!



This one is called an echidna. You can tell by they're nose that their favorite food is antz!

Tasmanian devil.. it looks quite dangerous in this picture, but it was actually just yawning

A dingo! They are known for their howl instead of barking. It looks just like a dog, but you have to be careful. In the wild they have killed children

Koala's!! Awww..and a little baby-koala on the back


This is a saltwater crocodile... some of them are huge! These are bigger than the freshwater crocodiles. They sometimes even eat each other!


I found my Skippy! I have never seen a kangoroo so relaxed.. it never moved!
