Day 1 Australia

After very little sleep on the flight over and being in an opposite time zone, today was a herculean effort just to stay awake. We landed in Brisbane, AU at 6:20 am, spent about an hour going through customs and having our luggage inspected, picked up the rental car, then spent the morning at the beach and the afternoon inland.

Oh boy, driving on the wrong side of the road.





Checking out the water temperature.

Jelly fish covered the beach.

We saw all kinds of interesting birds.


This one is a bit difficult to see but it's bright green right in the middle of the picture.

Very unusual pine tree.

A big rock :)



Macadamia orchard.

Crikey mate, it's the crocodile hunter's Australia Zoo. We didn't go in since it was late in the day and the price of admission was $59 pp.

It's a beautiful and unique landscape.

    Good morning (or evening?) I can't believe how bright the color of the green bird in the tree is. No problem finding it. Not sure about that driving on the wrong side. Bet that takes some getting used to. Have fun and enjoy!!!

      When we were headed up in the National Forest today the road was one lane in many places and was the most winding road I've ever been on. There were signs warning about a blind curve every few feet. You had to move all the way over if there was oncoming traffic, which was often, and they drive like there's a fire. SCARY!!!
