Port Macquarrie

Was finally able to leave Sydney on non work-related terms. Spent my Easter with some friends up at Port Macquarrie, a sleepy little town 5 hours drive away.

The highlight of the trip was definitely the camel ride by Lighthouse Beach:


We also got to visit a hospital for Koala bears. Apparently, a lot of them get run over, burned, and mangled by dogs, so a hospital was put up to treat them back to health. My friend Aya "adopted" (i.e donated a sizable sum of money to the hospital) a koala so the caretaker led us into a pen to take some photos.


Koalas are as cute as advertised. How can anyone run over one of these?
