This is a short one since I want the following two days on the same post. Got up the next day and headed to Phillip Island. This was a big day for “G” again. Phillip Island is known for having Fairy Penguins that visit the island every day. Fairy Penguins are the smallest variety of…

Where I will write about my travel experiences
More Driving and then the Night Sky!
The next day was a drive day again. “B” had found a place in Lakes Entrance along the southern coast of Australia for us to stop at for the night on our way to Phillip Island. It allowed for a not long drive. Along the way we stopped in a small town to grab lunch….
A Powerhouse Museum, A Miniature Garden, and Another Science Museum 2 in 3 days!
For our last day in Sydney it rained. Up to this point we had been doing pretty well in the rain department so a day of rain wasn’t too upsetting. We did end up going to a museum that day. We headed over to the Powerhouse Museum. It is a science museum (no surprise there)….
A Tall Ship and A Circus
The next day we woke up a little later (well the rest of the family did). Then we watched church online. It was nice to feel a little normal there. Well not too normal since we have been in person at church, but it was nice tot see what the church was going over back…
Blue Mountains, Lights, and my Favorite Food
The next morning, I woke up very early and decided to wander outside to see if the clouds had gone away enough to see anything in the sky – NOPE. Oh well. Went back to bed for a little bit. We had another lovely breakfast and conversation with the owners, and then headed toward Sydney….
The Observatory
Time for another big drive day. We had to get from Brisbane to Coonabarabran. Coonabarabran is a dark skies area and is known for observatories. I had found a quirky Airbnb that had had an observatory included with it. So, I signed us up for it, and now was the time to go. BUT the…
Lots of Animals!
We got up the next day and headed out of Noosa Heads toward The Australia Zoo. This is the zoo made famous by the Crocodile Hunter. “B” and I went here 17 years ago when we were in Australia for my friend’s wedding (“A and K”), and we thought the girls would enjoy it. IT…
Nature Days – Walking, Swimming, and Some 4-Wheeling
This was a big day for us. We had to be out the door by 5:30am to get picked up by a 4×4 vehicle to take us to K-gari (formerly called Fraser Island). This is a sand bar island off the east coast of Australia. It is the largest sand bar island in the world…
A Treehouse, A Waterfall, Shells on a Beach, and Driving.
So, yesterday was fun and all. Since we weren’t able to extend our stay at the Treehouse Airbnb we had to get everything loaded up into the car before we headed out. All good. Here is a picture of the place we were staying at – it was very pretty. The shower and hot water…
The Great Barrier Reef
We woke up the next day and had breakfast and had to get down to the pier to head out to the Great Barrier Reef. This was one of the BIG things we had planned during the trip and we were blessed that we didn’t miss it after all the issues with getting to Australia….
