Australia 2005 Tour

Kangaroo Crossing

Traveling through Australia was a wonderful experience.

I went from Brisbane to the tropical North of Queensland, then down to Sydney.

In particular, the variety of wildlife was impressive.

Wild Wallaby

It was extremely difficult to get close to any wild wallabies. This one was photographed through a spotting scope at about 200 yards.

Friendly bird

When provided with an opportunity to eat, some of the local birds were not at all shy. This one saw what it wanted not in this Japanese tourist's hand, but rather in the clear plastic bag she was holding, which it began to peck at furiously. The next few moments were a bit tense until the bird got what it wanted.

I'd rather be sleeping

The tropical North, Mission Beach

Sydney Harbor

Sydney Opera House

I attended a performance of the Sydney Philharmonic at the Opera House. The acoustics were truly superb.
