Australia
In and around Australia
We are finally ready to go, waiting calmly for the limosine to take us to JFK.
The house is closed and its erie to think we won't be back inside for three months.
This trip is similar to our trip through europe 10 years ago where we are based in a convenient locationa and plan to travel throughout the area mixing small day trips within the Canberra environment with longer trips planned now to include Sydney, Melbourne, New Zealand, The Great Barrier Reef, and perhaps some time in the interior.
We hope you enjoy.
