Family Adventures in Australia

By Heather on November 4, 2011

First of all the obvious: Australia is huge.

No one visits all of Australia on a single two week trip. It’s simply too big. You need  at least a month to really dive into it. Instead we stuck to a few cities, considered this our Intro to Oz trip and tempted ourselves with just enough to whet our appetite and insure we’d be back.  Here are just a few of the things we loved about our time in Sydney including our time in Bondi Beach, Surfer’s Paradise and Brisbane.

I thought the movie “Rio” gave these birds a bad name. Turns out it is totally justifiable.

Pretty. Evil.
