Our home away from home is very comfortable. Small with lots of storage and we've added magnetic hooks to walls to hang things too. Honestly, there's so much going on we don't spend a lot of time hereもっと詳しく

Woah those are called living fossils? Never seen anything quite like it! Really looks like a dino guess that's why it's called a living fossil

I think we have our first albatross sighting!!! These things can have a wing span of over 11 feet, greater than an Andean condor, and live to be 80 years old. They rarely flap their wings, they doもっと詳しく

Sydney Day Trip
2024年2月18日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
Fun tour of Sydney sites and Bondi Beach.
旅行者
Sydney has so many beautiful parks and open spaces. Our guide said it's becoming more important all the time as very few people can afford a home here ...median 1.122 million dollars Australian. That's two bedrooms one bath. Rentals are about the same ticket shock. Very little supply and soaring demand equals high prices.

More people than I've ever seen on any beach! Beautiful spot! Love to spend more time here.

Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef
2024年2月25日, オーストラリア ⋅ 🌧 84 °F
Just WOW... We saw more in our 2 hours of snorkeling the GBR than we have seen in all our other snorkeling trips combined, and we've been to some nice spots all over the Caribbean and Mexico.
旅行者The diversity and color of the coral was something I just wasn't expecting, and the fish were incredibly numerous. So much more than we expected. We are ruined for life and can never snorkel anywhere else. 😖
旅行者Stunning. Brought back memories of the most beautiful places I have been too. And all were between 20 ft and 120 ft under the ocean water. It is a different world in every way in those amazing places.
