At this time last year, not only were we packing our boxes to move into our new house, but we were also packing our sunscreen and our passports for our trip to Australia! Visiting the "Sunburnt Country" has been on my list of things to do ever since I was a little girl and when the opportunity presented itself, neither Steve nor I could resist. So, after nearly a year and a half of saving profusely, we booked a month off work and planned our dream adventure!
I did the best I could to capture in words what our trip was like but experiencing it for yourself is genuinely the only way to truly understand what being down under is really like. We came back very different people than when we left...as it tends to be the case with travelling!
We took nearly two thousand pictures while we were in Australia and I started going through them this weekend in hopes of making an album that best sums up our Aussie experience. It was so much fun going through all of them again and remembering what it was like spending an entire month doing brand new things for the first time; We saw kangaroos for the first time and ate crocodile. We bought our first piece of registered art from a good friend of Mel Gibson and we saw the Southern Cross under the most magnificent sky I've ever seen. Travelling changes who you are! And thanks to digital technology...it's now a lot easier to record the transition!
While our pictures in no way do the scenery any justice...they do at least remind me that while all our friends and family were buried in fifty centimetres of wretched snow, we were here...
