Cairns and Daintree Rainforest

While Brandon visited me in Australia we took a flight up to Cairns where we went to the local zoo to hold a koala bear and then went an hour off shore to snorkel and scuba dive then drove (on the left side of the road) to the Daintree Rainforest to see the wilderness. Here are some pictures of those experiences!



Driving on the right side of the car, left side of the road :) 

A Cassowary (a part of the ratite family) is something that people barely see and we had the pleasure of having one walk right in front of our car. Sorry for the crappy picture taking, I was so amazed that I was rushing to take the picture.

Brandon Visits Australia!

Brandon, came and visited me for three weeks from May 7th - May 27th. We went into the city almost everyday, went on day trips out of the city, and visited the city of Cairns and swam along the Great barrier Reef. 

Day One in Sydney - We visited the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. :)
