I may have gone overboard with all the animal photos in this entry, but our visit to the Australia Zoo showed us so many new animals that neither of us had ever seen!! So we hope you enjoy the pictures of koalas, wombats, Tasmanian devil, kookaburra and more!! I also want to give Randy credit as the photographer, which he is and has been for almost all the blogs (except the ones with my parents... Read Full Entry

Robin's one hour on the beach

I even made it in the water...until I was attacked by "sea lice" itchy things

On the sand

What are these little balls in the sand? Must be some creature living in there (see the air holes?)

Kite surfing

Highest cause of death: decapitation

The Dog Puppets

My favorite thing at the Eumundi markets. Dogs singing popular songs to dog lyrics!!

Love the Paella Fella!!

He does parties too!

Australian Kiwifruit??

I think the Aussies are a little confused about their fruits and veggies!

Didgadaroos

Local didgadaroo player

Shell hangings

A neat thing to do with shells, for all you shell collectors!

Overlooking the valley

This is the one picture of both of us in Ozzie to show we were really there together!

Noosa River

Does this look like Fort Lauderdale or what?

Dog Wash

Dog wash? What the heck is that supposed to be?

looks like a bottle brush

Could it be the bottle brush tree?

Glass House Mountains

Named by the amazing Captain James Cook (who thought they looked like the furnace towers of glass factories in 1780's England ) they are formed of volcanic plugs

Lunch with Mark and Linda

Mark was kind enough to host us at his home our last night in Brisbane. We know each other from when we met in the BVI in 2004 and our paths cross occasionally. Mark is also an ED doc.

The historic Brisbane Treasury Building

Ironically, or fittingly, now a casino!!

typical "Queenslander" architecture

Looks like something out of "Gone with the Wind"

Brisbane Riverbank

Brisbane skyline

From the ferry

"Street Beach"

This is a free manmade beach in the city named after the Street Ice Cream Brand.
