Trip Photo Dump

As promised, here are some pics from our travels around Australia.

The Bay of Fires in Tasmania.







Wombat beach sighting!


One of several wallaby sightings!














We hiked with a group of 12 people. Other than the group we saw almost nobody else along the three day walk. We were the last group of the season to go through. 


Some say this rock looks like a turtle, I think it looks like a sphinx.








Echidna sighting and petting!








Flash forward to our Reef Encounter stay at The Great Barrier Reef about an hour boat ride away from Cairns. Michael and his dad went SCUBA diving while I went snorkelling with his mom. After a few dives/snorkels at one sight, the boat would move to another (three different spots total). 











From Cairns we roadtripped through the Atherton Tablelands checking out fig trees that are hundreds of years old and a few waterfalls.


Perfect spot for a tea/coffee and scones break.


















This was the view below was from the breakfast table at the Mossman Gorge B&B (photo taken in the evening)


Daintree Rainforest


Cooper Creek Wilderness rambutan orchard. They are so delicious fresh off the trees...


...the wild cassowaries love eating them!


We got to hear all about the soap opera mating habits of Big Bertha and her many male suitors from a local. 


Cape Tribulation





Port Douglas sunset



A special shout-out again to Michael's dad, this time for his extensive planning.
