This is "Tobi" one of the many artist decorated Koala sculptures that forms part of the Gold Coast Sculpture Trail dotted across the Gold Coast. Cynthia Cabello is the artist behind this creation. These sculptures are to raise awareness of koala conservation and the work that the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital does in treating, rehabilitating and releasing the native animals.

Circular Quay is Sydney's largest ferry terminal and home to the world famous Sydney Opera House and Royal Botanic Garden. The Sydney Harbour Bridge is also in full view from here, making this one of the "must visit" locations when in Sydney.

Reportedly costing in excess of $100 million dollars to build, the Sydney Opera House is world famous not because of the cost to build but for it's unique design.

Still popular today "Blinky Bill" first appeared in books in 1933. This particular one lives outside the Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary on the Gold Coast, Australia. These guys do a great job rehabilitating and releasing injured animals.

Things are hotting up on the Gold Coast. GC600 is in full swing and Evandale Parklands just behind HOTA (Home of the Arts) might just be the place to cool off with a beautiful lake, walking track and nice shaded area for a picnic.
