Both my writing and by blog (and even
my cooking, come to think of it) have been totally abandoned this last week. We've had house guest from the U.S. staying
with us, and we've attempted to show them a little of our corner of Australia
in just five days. I think our efforts were successful and they were enchanted
with our home away from home. We certainly enjoyed ourselves, but we’re ready
for a weekend in which to rest up!! I have hundreds (yes, hundreds) of pictures
to process and share.
They landed in the monsoon rains accompanying a cyclone that
thankfully fizzled before it reached us. We had a couple very wet days,
however. Ironically, now that our guests
have left, the weather looks to be absolutely beautiful for the next week. But
hey! It was an adventure!!
Silly CNN told the world that Queensland is in Tasmania. Actually, the city of Brisbane (placed correctly on the map) is in the state of Queensland, which is a very large state. All the towns shown on this map are IN Queensland. I know. I live there.
I’ll post a few photos that give you just a quick glance at
our adventures. Later I’ll share a few videos and a lot more details about each
of our touristy days.
You have to hold a Koala when you're in Australia. I finally did. Her name is Violet.
And I petted at kangaroo.

Bribie Island is a wonderful place to have a picnic and watch the sunset.
