More pictures from Australia!

Well we only have about 2 weeks left and I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by. So I thought before I leave I better get some of those pictures up...before I loose the will....there are so many pictures from the 3 months....but many will have to wait till I get home....I hope these will do for now! I would love to hear from any and all!

To give everyone an idea of how naive I was coming here for 3 months and thinking I could see the whole country. This really puts it into perspective of how big a country Australia really is! I guess I will have to come back!

Our favorite Australia piece of crapper....that many of you have heard such wonderful things about. Turns out she did us good after all........even so I will be happy to be rid of her....and I have never felt that way about any car I have owned!

New Year's Eve 2005 Sydney Harbour Bridge! We got there early for a great spot. The water and the bridge was in front of us, the city was to our left, and the Opera House was to our Right! It was a truely rememorable day!

New Year's Eve 2005 Sydney Harbour!

Jayme and I on the River with Melbourne city behind us. This is where we spent Australia Day (their version of July 4th) It was really hot that day and the Austalian Open tennis tournament was going on right behind us. Some of the Commonwealth Games tournaments will talk place right behind us on the river in just a week.
Jayme and I on top of Mt. Kusciuizko (2,228 meters).....Australia's highest point! It was an easy hike....and it was great to be standing on the roof of Australia!

Surfer surfing the waves at Bell's Beach!

Famous Bell's Beach in Victoria. Famous surf beach where Rip Curl Pro surf competition is held every year!

The 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road. This is one of the major sites of Australia and I have to admit it was quite spectacular. We were lucky, after it raining most of the day, that it cleared up just for sunset! If the flies weren't so annoying it would have been even better!

One of our first nice sunsets! We had been there for almost a month before being in an area where we could enjoy one! Quite a difference from New Zealnad where we saw the sunset every night!

Sulfur Crested Coccatou. These birds are very vocal and found quite abundantly. I even saw one on a roof. It took some getting used to, knowing that these birds are not pets here and many colored birds are a common thing here! I don't think they know how lucky they are to have birds of such beauty always near!

Picture of a Black swan at sunset on the inlet at Lakes entrance in Southern Victoria! These swans are quite common and mean if approached!
