The land of Oz (aka: Australia), is really quite a place. We left New Zealand April 30 and arrived in Tropical Cairns, in Far North Queensland. Its the only part of Australia I've been to and I'm quite impressed with just this small part of Far North Queensland that we visited. The beaches are amazing and endless, the rainforest beautiful and enchanting, and the wildlife is uniquely spectacular to this part of the world. The animals we came across either in the wild or in the zoo were : Crocodiles, cassowary's, koalas, kangaroos, cockatoos, cookabura's, and a number of snakes, lizards and turtles.
My mom met up with us a few days after we arrived and we drove up past Laura to have an "Australian Outback Experience" amidst the gum trees at Jawalbinna station. Even though its the tropics the nights have been much colder than the days and so we were happy to survive our experience in the outback - as it was quite cold through the night as we slept under a roofed, but not walled shelter. Actually, I was proud of my mom for enduring this "adventure" with us!
I considered staying longer in Australia because our visa is good for a year, but I have had a strong pull to either go back to the states or into Asia.
