We had less than 24 hours in Brisbane, but we made the most of it with plenty of sightseeing, a rugby game, and a little shopping for my first pair of Lululemon pants.

We arrived at Suncorp Stadium with just enough time to pick up our Wallabies souvenirs - a stubby holder (beer coozy) and scarf. Unfortunately the Wallabies got creamed so a rowdy argument over seats turned out to be the most exciting part of the night. Even though they didn't score a single try (rugby touchdown) we had a blast cheering them on.

Continuing our journey north from Brizzy, we had to stop at the Australia Zoo on the tip that we might be able to pet a koala.

The next day we headed out on a whale watching trip in Hervey Bay and lucked out with a spectacular show. There were so many calves and moms breaching, tail slapping, fin waving, rolling, backstroking, and even singing.

Seeing the whales up close was such a breathtaking experience, definitely at the top of the trip highlights.
