Good news: I’m here!

Bad news: still sitting on the plane because a passenger “fell ill” and we have to go through quarantine procedures.

I walked through a huge botanical garden and this was at the end of the path. Not an ordinary mid-week evening.

Magnetic Island
Feb 03 2018

We spent the day at Magnetic Island. It’s named because Captain Cook’s compass was broken and he thought the island had some weird magnetic pull.

We saw rock wallabies. Jeff fed one water while I did a snorkel trail.

Whitsunday Islands National Park
Feb 05 2018

Even though weather wasn’t ideal, we went on a boat ride to the Whithaven islands. Winds were 35 knots, so it was beyond an exhilarating wild ride!

I went snorkeling and didn’t see much other than a bunch of fish.

We hiked a bit (they called it a “bush walk”) and had a great point of view.

We stopped at a place called Champagne Beach for lunch. It’s called that because there is air between the grains of sand, so bubbles always come up!

Agnes Water

It’s been a couple driving days. We went through Agnes Water, which apparently is a good place for surfing.

Fraser Island
Feb 08 2018

Today we are at Fraser Island, all sand and has a rainforest. We went on a 4x4 tour bus as well as a short plane ride.

This is a rainwater lake in the middle of the island.

Here’s where we’ve been resting the past few days:

It’s very secluded and pitch black at night. The water here is all rain water!

Sydney Opera House
Feb 14 2018

It’s the Year of the Dog at Sydney Opera House. His tongue and tail wag.

They had all the other zodiac symbols, too. This was my favorite.

Sydney Opera House
Feb 14 2018

We saw Carmen at the opera house! It was set in Cuba instead of Spain. That took a bit of getting used to, but it grew on me. Overall it was very well done.
