It truly is a 'must do' experience while visiting Brisbane. You will depart at 10am, just in time to be served home-made style morning tea. This vessel has all the modern conveniences, so you can upload your photos on their WiFi as soon as you take the shot.

Morning tea and lunch are both served on-board. You then have three hours to truly explore the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary was rated one of the top ten zoos in the world by AOL, and is the world's first and largest koala sanctuary. A large zoo for native Australian animals, it rests on the banks of the Brisbane River. There are over 130 koalas living at Lone Pine, but there are many other colourful native Australian species at Lone Pine, so you won't miss the opportunity to cuddle a koala, hand feed a kangaroo, or snap a selfie with the majestic emu.

Five and a half hours later, you will return to Brisbane with a lifetime's worth of true blue Aussie memories.
