Fotodump Friday

Andy's pictures:
This was on a bridge in Melbourne. I liked the "more bars in more places" look of the tress lined up with the ferris wheel.


This isn't a great picture, I just like the story behind it. When Katie started feeding the birds this one refused to get off once the birdseed was all gone. The bird started trying to grab on to Katie's shirt sleeve with it's beak to climb up. Luckily he wasn't successful and flew off.


Somewhere on the Great Ocean Road.


On the way out of Green Island on our Great Barrier Reef trip.


For all the geology nerds that read this blog - why is this rock orange? (Esk Island, Whitsundays)


Bad iPhone picture, but I was excited our 737 from Auckland to Sydney was parked next to an A380.


Katie's pictures:
The albino kangaroo outside of Melbourne during our Penguin Parade tour.  It seemed a lot older than the other kangaroos, but that could just be because it's albino.  There was also one albino roo hopping around too.


The fruit looked bright and colorful stacked together at Victoria Market in Melbourne.


The Loch Ard gorge was really cool to walk around in.  I just wanted to revisit it.


This sign was at the Whitehaven lookout.


A comment was left asking if I was wearing a wetsuit.  This is a lycra stinger suit.  It is a full body suit (hand gloves, stirrups for the feet, hood).  It provides some protection if you run into either of Australia's deadliest jellyfish, the Box jellyfish and Irukandji.  They are super sexy.


Our group that went sailing on the Waltzing Matilda in the Whitsundays.  All of them were really wonderful to sail with.

  1. About the rock--I know why it's orange, but I'll never tell.
    But more importantly, about the sign... I can't help but notice it said the grains have been around at least 80,000 years. But they could also speak of the dinosaurs, which went extinct ~66,000,000 years ago. Just sayin'
