So cute

I think I want a baby koala now :)

Hanging out with Mom

It's hot and I'm tired

It is so hot out here guys, lets go find some shade and lie down.


I am so sleepy.......

New Outfit

I bought a new outfit from this store outside of Sydney. Just kidding!!! Everything in the store is seriously made out of rubber.

Australia loves monkeys too

I love the Princess Polly store name also. "Spreading love, peace & happiness" is what it says below the name.

First Visitor

Brian Borders, our first official visitor! Brian came over mid October and stayed 6 days with us. We started in Sydney and then to Brisbane. Picture was taken at Dundee Arms, our watering hole after a long day of sightseeing.

Entertaining Evening

So...about 5pm today I walk into the bedroom to find this little guy hanging around. I wait for Wes to get home and tell him we have a friend living in the bedroom. Well, we cannot find him. Eeekkkkkk!!!!! All I can think is that there is NO way Iam sleeping in the bed tonight. So we go on a walk, have some dinner and then I go and take a look for "Wally" the gecko. I found "Wally" and shout for Wes to come and help. Long story short, 40 minutes later we finally get "Wally" out of the bedroom and back outside. I can go to bed tonight not thinking that a gecko will make his appearance on my face or in my hair! Have a great day and if you start having a bad one or just need a laugh, just think of me and Wes chasing "Wally" around :)

Bondi Beach

Bondi (pronounced "BOND-eye") is located about 7 kilometers east of Sydney. Popular for surfing and is home of the world's first surf lifesaving club.

Breast Cancer Awareness

The lights on the Story Bridge in Brisbane have been changed to pink the entire month of October for Breast Cancer Awareness. The Conrad Treasury building (which is a casino) has also been lit up pink for the month.

Stradbroke Island

We took a visit to Stradbroke Island which to the locals is called "Straddie."
It is about an hour from Brisbane. We went up to "Point Lookout" which overlooks the Coral Sea and were hoping to see some whales migrating. Luckily as soon as we hit the cliffs we saw a whale, baby whale and dolphins. First picture you can kinda see where the whales are.



Small specs in the water are surfers.

Koala Crossing

Driving down the road and see this sign. Watch out for koalas!

Riverfire 2009

Riverfestival, which began in 1998, is a week-long festival held in September each year at South Bank Parklands and surrounding areas (including the Victoria Bridge), to celebrate the Brisbane River. It is the major festival in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. These are just a few pics of the planes that flew by. 2009 is also the last year they had the F-111's do the "dump and burn."
