Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!!! Wahoo!

Gotta love that t-shirt!
Both GA and NC kids enjoyed Tangalooma Resort on Moreton Island,
the 3rd largest sand island in the world!
Ferris Wheel at Sydney Harbor
Beautiful Opera House and Harbor Bridge view at dusk
Harbor Bridge, night fall.
Byron Bay Lighthouse
Getting ready to go on the boat out to the Great Barrier Reef!
We loved Reef Magic tours...what a great company! And thanks to
the medication Kytril, no sea sickness for Autumn! Yay!!!
Inside Capricorn Caves
One of my koala friends at RainForeStation!
Some typical currency
One of many "big" icons in Oz...the Big Banana!
(There is also the Big Prawn, the Big Mango, etc).
With our homestay family, Shiloh, Wendy and Mark Quill.
Sampling sugar cane cut right from the stalk!
In certain areas of Australia, frogs really enjoy hiding in the
toilets and coming up when you flush! Ahh!!!
Hanging up our laundry to dry at our home stay. I mean,
should I point out that they have a perfectly working dryer? Nah!
Me with Amanda getting ready for sand tabogganing...probably
my least favorite activity on the trip. AHHH! Bleh!
Squinting at Byron Bay. Gorgeous day and views!
Trying our hand at cricket at the Sydney Cricket Grounds...
or just faking it with the equipment that was laying around!
