Eucalypt Tree

It's really amazinghow different the trees are in Australia. This is a good picture of classic gum tree. They can get very tall.

Grand Pacific Drive

Went on a long drive to see the blowhole in Kiama. It's supposed to shoot water something like 70 feet in the air. More like 70 inches! I guess the tide was out. The view was beautiful though along this highway. Here is Crystal and Branden with the view of the Pacific behind them.

Taronga Zoo - Wallaby

Here's a little Wallaby. He looks like he is thinking and he was. Right after this he hopped right over two large red kangaroos who were sleeping.

Taronga Zoo

The Taronga Zoo also has a lot of beautiful plantings. This gum flower caught our eye.

Finally Steve got his picture of a black cockatoo. Aren't they cool? The bird show at the zoo was amazing as they "free fly" over you as part of it. They are all trained through food and treats.
