New news from Oz

Sorry but there are no new pictures to post other then the last of New Zealand and right now...I can't find that disc. Australia has been pretty disappointing for us so far. I am sure that it has a lot to do with the weather because it has been crap! If it is not raining then it is extremely hot. They were having a bit of a dry spell and to our luck we came when the that spell decided to end! I know what you are thinking...you feel real sorry for me! It seems that we have hit a rough spot....come on now you didn't expect all my news to be great now......everyone knows that noone can have a perfect year and this year didn't start that way for us. We did have a great New Year's Eve and I have some awesome pictures but those will be burned on a disc when I get enough total pictures to fill it up! So far the time here has not been what I expected the land is flat and dry and their national parks are like the reserves in the US! They are all bush! The beaches are nice but no different then the ones in the US! I have yet to have this country grab me yet! Now the up side of this, is that there is still two and half months to go and this county is the size of the entire US. We have only seen an area of about the size of one state. So I am not going to count my chickens before they are hatched. There is plenty of time for me to change my mind, and I am sure that it will be changed. The Great Barrier reef and rain forest have yet to be seen and we are headed on our way to hike to the highest point on this continent and travel the great ocean road which is supposed to be marvelous! Now if only the weather will cooperate! The sun finally came out today! I praying that it will stay that way for more then a couple days....All my love to everyone and I promise more pictures soon!
