Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary

Koala looking cosy up a treeCURRUMBIN, QUEENSLAND – I am finally able to share the images from our Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary experience ! :) if you wanna go absolutely crazy at some of the cutest and funniest creatures on Earth (and a few scary ones so that you can forever be able to casually mention OH yep, that time I was standing “close” to a crocodile in Australia… :P ), then this is the place for you to visit for sure :) I have also been to Taronga in Sydney before and I loved that a lot too, even though I would probably say Currumbin would be my favorite because the area is wider and more jungle’y, far from the city. The animals seems to be enjoying a very good enviromnent of freedom, tropical goodness and some serious relax, while being looked after by loving park rangers :)

NOTE: this is going to be a long post :D

Welcome to the jungle, lush Aussie edition 1/2

Queensland nature tropical jungle lush

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA – As some of you might already know, I am a hopeless treehugging, flower crazy, green-addict kind of person. What is better than walking among lush rainforest, and jungle-looking areas of Queensland? I’ll let you judge :) Some of these images were shot around Gold Coast, others at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, which I highly recommand visiting both for the plants and for the (ridiculously cute) animals. If any of you knows the names of the less common plants pictured here please leave a comment, I’ll be happy to learn more about it :)

It’s a koala life: the real role model

Koala bear up an eucalyptus tree looking as if blinking

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA – So, honestly koalas know everything about the true meaning of life. Their combination of sleep-eat-hug tree-repeat is quite THE lifestyle, which makes of them the most relaxed and arguably the smartest creatures on Earth. Of course, they never forget to stay beautiful :) Fluffy is the new black.

Moments in Burleigh Heads

Couple walking on the beach carrying surfboards

BURLEIGH HEADS, QUEENSLAND – We’ve been to Burleigh shortly after visiting Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary (heaps of koala/roo/wombat cuteness coming soon!) and stopped for a delayed lunch (aka berry cheesecake with vanilla icecream :D) and some beach photos :) It was around dusk and the sky opened up from the clouds for a little while, enough to get to enjoy the beauty of the place with a hint of blue sky. It’s a great vantage point to admire Gold Coast’s majestic skyscrapers in front of the ocean. Also, please bare with me while I am still completely obsessing over all the tropical flowers and plants, like the hibiscus and flame tree here… :)

Queensland: fulfill your nature loving soul Part II

Surfers Paradise beach lifeguard hut 35

GOLD COAST, QUEENSLAND – Of course, the Part I of this post was only a tiny preview of the MANY Queensland loving photos that fill up my hard disk. Despite the places I have had the chance to visit afterwards, I am still obsessing over these pristine beaches and subtropical goodness more than anything :) There’s nothing like Australia, they say… for a reason ! :)

Queensland: fulfill your nature loving soul

Queensland gorgeous natural landscapePlants and pines along the coast

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – The Sunshine State, doesn’t “only” have bright sunny skies and subtropical warmth to offer, I have found it to also be the ultimate destination for the real nature lovers (and treehuggers like yours truly :D ). The deep green of the plants, dark reddish brown of the land and golden tones from the sand can make a photographer go really really happy with this travel destination, and in some cases like mine … quite a little bit less happy about the amount of SD card storage available on hand. Pack wisely, you are gonna need more gigabytes than you think :P
