| Took these pic's last trip to visit my kids in Australia, all are on the east coast,except the old bridge it is in central Victoria, neat lighthouse huh, it is the most furtherest eastern point of the country,while there we saw some whales swimming by but they were too quick for photo's. Just wanted to share! |

| Thanks JP, the thing I miss the most about home is those eucalyptus trees along the rivers. Hubby enjoyed the Kaola pic' but they are smelly little buggers. |

I went to Australia for two weeks when I was 17. (Gees...that was 13 years ago). When I was in Sydney I got lots of pictures of the Sydney Harbor Bridge, the Sydney Opera House, and some graffiti on the beach, then I broke my camera playing rugby on the beach. (Note: remove camera from pocket BEFORE playing rugby). I still regret not getting any pictures from the rest of the country. I was one good Christmas bonus away from going back this spring to fix the problem.

I did lots and lots of things in Australia, but one of my strongest memories is the distinctive smell of a Koala: eucalyptus and shit. Not something you're going to bottle and sell anytime soon. |

Yeah those trees do smell nice, I had forgotten that. I was there for a couple years about 10 years ago. Beautiful county. I would love to go back and explore it a little more then I was able to.
Tonight with dinner I actually had some Bundaberg Ginger Beer and a few Timtams. Mmmm, good stuff. |

Ginger Beer love it!, not keen on the Timtams however my hubby loves them( he's from the US) There is a place in Texas where I get all sorts of stuff Outback Australia I think it's called, they also have a web site :2thumbs: |
