My husband and I had the opportunity to visit Australia last month and it was AMAZING! We visited Sydney and Cairns (pronounced "cans") and soaked up plenty of sunshine given that it's summer in the Southern Hemisphere...nice change of pace from the cold, rainy days we've been experiencing in San Francisco. Too bad I've already lost my tan!
This post is all about Sydney and the world famous Bondi Beach. I took hundreds of photos, but will just share a few. :) And, I'll be posting about our trip up north to Cairns in tropical Queensland later this week.
I hope you'll have the chance to visit this beautiful country. Enjoy!
p.s. Today I'm linking up to Debbiedoos newbie party. Check it out!

| We made it to Bondi Beach! It was cloudy at first, but then the same came out and shined for us all afternoon. This is a public swimming pool....waves crash up over the side into the pool. It was featured on the Travel Channel. |

| Beautiful sand and gorgeous water. This beach is my happy place! |

| Check out those waves! It's hard to tell how large they were from this photo, but let me tell you...they were huge! |

We visited a local wildlife sanctuary. This lil' koala was a piglet!
They sleep for 19-20 hours a day and eat the rest. Too cute!!! |

| How adorable? |

Feeding the wallybys (small kangaroos). These lil' guys were aggressive and very hungry.
