Brisbane, Australia - 2013

I live in Seattle (which is in the northern hemisphere!) and the thought of going to Brisbane and Sydney (in southern hemisphere) was simply mind blowing. We actually visited Brisbane and Sydney in April of 2013 with our 13 month old daughter. She had more fun than the two of us. Because -

She was able to play with Emu at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

She fed Kangaroo at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

We took her for a late night stroll at the Brisbane Story Bridge

Coffee club was a savior in disguise - Reason: My daughter really loved their french toast and babyccino and insisted to have it every morning during our visit

Babyccino (Steamed milk with marshmallow and dusted cocoa) at the Coffee Club cafe

She was thrilled to see the crowd at Queen Street Mall

And, Brisbane's weather was very warm and soothing for her :)
