Australia

In case you haven't seen these on facebook, Brian's posted some pictures from his "business trip" to Australia. He's having a wonderful time and making us all jealous that we aren't with him! I don't think Brayden (or I) will let him go to Australia again without him after seeing the kangaroos and koalas! Who am I kidding? After seeing the beach I was ready to jump on a plane!

Since the Great Barrier Reef is pretty far from Sydney, he had to settle for snorkeling closer. They went to Manly Beach and only lasted about 45-60 minutes! Even with a wetsuit he said it was freezing! (Australia is just starting their summer weather) He said they saw some cool fish and followed a ray for awhile.

Brian heard about the Blue Mountains which was like a 2 hour drive from Sydney. Since their internet is CRAZY he had me do the research for him and send him links to things he should do/see. I think that was a problem cause that got me really jealous I'm not with him enjoying the sites too! Here's some of his pictures from their day trip to the Blue Mountains!

The "Three Sisters" is the most photographed site in this part of Australia. It's named for three aboriginal sisters who's statues they had nearby to see. No pictures of that on the blog since they weren't clothed!

I'm thinking this is Wenworth Falls but he didn't say.

He asked some people where the best spot to see kangaroos in the wild was and when they got to the campsite, sure enough there were 5 kangaroos.

How cool to see them in the wild! And apparently the male thought it was mating season and the female wasn't having it.

They then went to a nature preserve where they got to pet koalas. There's a new law in that area of Australia that prevents people from holding/snuggling with koalas anymore so touching them is the best you can do.

He said there were kangaroos running all over the park that would come up to you. Pretty cool!

And the typical tourist picture in front of the Sydney Opera House.

Of course he only took his iphone to document his trip to Australia! I think he's learned his lesson! Hopefully if he goes back, I'll be joining him!
