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.

Proof we had landed in Oz.

This much happiness despite time changes and accommodation mixups. Incredible
More proof we were in Oz: food prices. Yikes!

L’il Wayne….everywhere
We needed the reminder!
I thought the movie “Rio” gave these birds a bad name. Turns out it is totally justifiable.
Pretty. Evil.
