What's a trip to Australia without kangaroos?

South of Sydney

After we had seen every kid friendly site in Sydney, we got in a very small car and headed south, staying in Holiday parks along the way. We thought we were taking the "coastal highway" hoping to take in some scenery along the way. As it turns out you had to drive a little further out of the way to see the coast. We ended up seeing a lot of cows anyway. It was much like driving in the western US, only without an interstate and on the wrong side of the road. We did manage to find some pretty amazing sites and get some great wildlife footage. Enjoy the pictures.

Jay and Trey share an octopus from the barbie. He'll eat octopus but nothing his mother cooks. I guess I need to get out and do some fishing.

If you're reading this from Samoa, you can appreciate the beauty of this one.













Here is Trey at home in the sand, no matter where it is. This happens to be at Bondi Beach.

Here we are again at Bondi. Quite different being in warm clothes at the beach. It was a nice change from Samoa.

Sydney

The must-have photo on Circular Quay in front of the world famous opera house.

Nate spent most of his naps being strolled. Couldn't waste any good tourist time.

Jay and the boys pose for another shot of the Sydney skyline.

Here is the first of many pictures with the native wildlife, taken at the Taronga Zoo, Sydney.

Australia August 2007

We took our family vacation down under this year. Starting in the great city of Sydney, where we spent 5 days, we traveled south along the coastal highway to Melbourne, completing our trek in 2 weeks. There was no shortage of kangaroo sightings. Jay even got attacked by one. It was truly a sight to behold. I was laughing so hard I missed the good footage. Trey's highlight was feeding the wild parrots and grey kangaroos and Nate was just content taking it all in, being constantly entertained by his big brother. I'll spare you all of the details and let you look at some of the photos.
