If you don’t already know … Australia is one of the most picturesque places in the entire world. I encourage everyone to go ‘Down Under’ once in their lifetime. It felt so short to see a country as large as the United States in about 2 weeks. That’s why I decided to only focus on the east coast (between Cairns in Queensland to Sydney in New South Wales). I was lucky enough to get time off this year to go to Australia. Patrick and I got denied last year due to the tragic events of 9/11. This year, Dorothy and I had a chance to go, uninterrupted. In the following pages, I will try to capture the great times and memorable events of the couple weeks I had in Australia. (What a great country!) The events were so outstanding that I’ve already started to plan what places I want to go see next time I have vacation time!
