Australia


A Humpback Whale's tail!

Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge in the background

Mark with a Wallaby

Feeding a Wallaby - some grain inside of an ice cream cone
A Koala bear - that we got to pet, his name is Charlie
Kangaroos that we got to pet while they were sunbathing


Sailboats in front of the Sydney Harbor Bridge (I climbed that bridge!)

A surfer at North Bondi Beach

Things that we did here:
  • Did lots of photo taking by walking around, going to the tip of the Sydney Tower, Ferry ride
  • Bondi Beach
  • Sydney Eye Hospital (Yoh had to get her eye re-check - not the most fun 4 hour wait)
  • Sydney Harbor Bridge Climb (a huge highlight of mine)
  • Whale watching
  • Went to a wildlife place where you could pet koalas, kangaroos, and wallaby
  • We went to a war memorial it is a replica of Washington D.C.

So, is Mark trying to say that the wallaby is on a rabbit trail and needs to refocus the discussion? What kinds of discussions do wallabies have?

Great pictures, as always.

yes Susan that is what he is doing? Do you need him to come visit on Tuesday mornings! :)
I think they have conversations about how weird humans are around them.
