Mooloolaba, Steve Irwin's Zoon and Montville

On Saturday a couple of weeks ago, Em and I headed north from Brisbane to Mooloolaba. En route, we stopped for a lost dog that we named "Sascha". Though determined to get herself run over, we brought her to a nearby vet and is now happy and back with her owners.

With the weather coming in a bit, we stopped for a beer at the Ettamogah pub for a beer.

We also indulged in a few Tim Tams, a classic Aussie biscuit, and waited out the rain in Maloolaba.

In Australia Zoo, Em nursed a koala and fed some (pretty demanding) kangaroos.

Here's a koala that is actually awake for a change!

Chips and chicken salt, a staple that I missed while in the US made up part of our lunch on Sunday.

Our first weekend away did not really lend itself to hanging out at the beach, so we headed up in to the mountains and were treated to some spectacular views and later, a spot in a cozy pub in Montville.

As the skies cleared on Monday, we headed further north to Agnes Water, via Bundaberg. I'll describe that leg of our trip in the next post.
