Well with the fast pace we put through Australia, we ended up leaving after just 20 days. Australia was not the amazing place everything we read or was told about. It is still a pretty cool place just very very very expensive (especially since the dollar is par) we found Oz really over commercialized in the tourist areas, most well known areas we just blew through as it was just not our scene. Everything felt either young party backpacker or rich posh yuppie. We had some pretty cool memory's, found some really cool places that are not on the tourist map, and were glad we went we just didn't need even close to our 6 weeks of original time allotment.
Highlights include Australia Zoo, we got to pet a koala, feed a kangaroo, check out the awesome size and power of saltwater crocs, as-well as see some dingo's... no they don't feed them babys :( Other highlights, seeing Koalas in the wild, some craze winding road off the highway that was one car wide with awesome views and our first wild roo sighting. Endless beautiful beach after another although only really good if you surf as they were too rough for swimming.
After finishing up in Cairns we dropped the car off and boarded the plane for Bali
Good to hear from you. Love the animal photos. Too bad it has been disappointing in Australia. However the best may yet to be? Looking forward to the Bali logs. Love M.
