LAST DAY IN AUSTRALIA


Has it been a month already??? We are all packed and ready to catch our plane and fly home. In reflecting back on this last month, all I can say is - It was INCREDIBLE !!! All the things one thinks about as a child, I have done. I saw my first platupus, rode a camel, camped in the outback (and did not need the services of the flying doctor) and slept under the stars in a swag, saw the Southern Cross in the sky; watched both the sunset and sunrise on Uluru, walked around Uluru, hiked into the Olgas, about 40 minutes from Uluru, saw Kings Canyon and took a hike through it; snorkled on the Great Barrier Reef; held a koala bear (who is actually related to the wombat, not the bear), fed kangaroo, made some great friends on the camping trip; toured backstage in the Sydney Opera House.....


This has been the most awesome adventure I have every done. I am simply amazed that so much has been accomplished.
here we are on our camel. Lucy is a lead camel and she is so gentle and easy to ride. All we had to do was talk gently to her and give her a few pats on the neck every now and again.
Stay tuned for more pictures in a few days.
Happy trails..............
