Australia Zoo, Queensland

On Monday the 12th of August we visited the Australia Zoo, made by the famous Steve Irwin. It was a fabulous day at 29°c and the Zoo had lots to see. It does cost an arm and a leg, but the kids had a great time.

Caloundra Kings Beach, Queensland.

We had a great 10 days up at Caloundra. The kids loved the beach. It's winter in Australia right now, but up north is not very wintery  at 25°c or more.
Wispy sky.
Cabbage tree, with crows.
Lots to do with the kids, there are many playgrounds for them to enjoy.
Sunset from the house.
Local traffic at the beach.
Hubby had a great time running up and down the beach.

Here we are in Sydney by a fountain with so many curious animals.
