Australia 2011... Only 3+ Years Late

    Since I never posted any pictures from Australia when I got back, I figured I'd post some now.  Anyone who if Facebook friends with me has probably already seen them, but here they are anyway.

   We went to Sydney, Hamilton Island, and then Cairns where we visited The Great Barrier Reef.

We climbed the Sydney bridge, up the side closest to us in this picture, across the middle at the top and back down  to where we started but on the opposite side. No pictures unless we paid for them... lame!

We went on several hikes and enjoyed the beauty of the country. There is a lot of beauty in Australia.

Held a Koala. I wanted to keep him, but it was a no go.

Relaxed and read... like 3 books I think. :)  Long flights provide lots of reading time.

Bad visibility, but the Great Barrier Reef was really cool.

And... a few more of animals and nature, but no more of me. I need to learn how to be more photogenic.  Can you learn that? I think you can.  That's a no goal for me.
