privileged several times during this holiday, catching wild things doing their thing. It was incredible to turn a bend and find ourselves face to face with wallabies, koalas, superb fairy wrens and kookaburras.....and various tiny critters...
We left the heat and humidity of Darwin and we flew back to Adelaide. After about a half an hour at home we had dumped our tropical clothes and repacked for the next leg of the journey...The Great Ocean Road!
Our holidays began in Darwin, which is one of the most northerly points in Australia. Wow! The first thing that hit us as we got off the plane was the 35 degree temperature and the humidity. It was quite a change from the chill of South Australia!
The Royal Show is like the CNE. Everything from sheep shearing demonstrations and wood-chopping competitions to stalls selling every imaginable treat. This is a big deal here. We spent a Saturday morning strolling through with Jackie. She and Huge are enjoying their "Dagwood Dogs." Mmmmm...tasty.
These photos were taken a few weeks ago in Sydney. It's an amazing place...even during APEC! Five km of steel fencing closed down many sections of the harbour and city core, but the ferry was still running. Huge stayed home and Jackie and I flew over for the weekend. Brilliant!
