You know how in tourism advertisements for warm places like Australia, they always show white sandy beaches, clear blue water, and girls in bikinis? And sure, you think, those things exist -- but surely that's an optimistic or idealistic view of the destination. Those places must be remote, or few and far between, or cost a pretty penny to get to ( Read more... )

gosh... even after all your posts already it never fails to amaze me how much interesting wildlife is in Australia! I'm starting to think I'd like to do the same thing as you some day... it really looks like an amazing experience!

It has been fun! Their wildlife is so neat because it all developed independently, being an island continent and all.

The critters are so cute . . . you bringing one home? The beach looked wonderful. I think I would have wanted to spend the night there enjoying the sound of the surf and the beautiful sand.
Took a 2 hour ride today - Serena and I. It was very nice and we got back before the wind began to howl yet again. Send me the story of your stalker if you think of it. I'm always up for a good laugh!

I'm already bringing an echidna home... I think I'm risking enough as it is!

There are actually a lot of campgrounds on/near the beaches here... I may very well be sleeping on a beach one of these nights!

Will send stalker story now. :p

mmm, those poor quokkas get badly treated sometimes. ppl have been busted for kicking them around and doing just nasty, horrible shit to them.

GREAT photos too, i love the self timer ones & the ones of ur feet & footprints.

How could you abuse something that cute? I guess their fearless nature can be a detriment. :(
