Our Final Days in Australia


It's only taken me 2 months to finish blogging our trip to Australia, forgive me.

I've skipped the Inverell and Sapphire digging part of our trip because I did the smilebox about it.
So...after we left Inverell we drove in the rain all day back to Brisbane and straight to their zoo. We got close to a koala and I got to feed the kangaroos in the steady rain. It was wet, but wonderful. That night we went to the Brisbane Temple and out to eat at a wonderful little French restaurant afterwards. C'est magnifique!!! It was still raining by the way!

Early the next morning we flew to Sydney and went straight to the Sydney Temple and then checked into our gorgeous hotel in downtown Sydney. We were upgraded to a two room suite and our view was spectacular! While in Sydney we took a harbor dinner cruise, a ferry over to Manly Harbour, a tour of the Sydney Opera House and even took in a show our last night inside the Opera House. We loved it all, but probably won't ever feel the need to go back to Sydney. It's just another big city and we much prefer the open road and the countryside.

This was an incredible trip and we're so happy we went with great friends, made new ones along the way and look forward to returning to Inverell and Tasmania one day real soon.
