Have a great trip, and make lots of memories to bring back to the states with you!!

I"ve already had my picture taken with a koala, but I'm going to do it again. A friend of mine in Canberra has a friend who works very closely with the koalas at Lone Pine. We are hoping she will be around so we can get "behind the scenes" with her. We just need to call when we get there and check on her schedule. This lady does alot with the Koala Foundation.

We will only be going to Brisbane and Sydney. I've been to Sydney before, but not Brisbane. I'm not the one who wanted to go, I got outvoted 2-1. I wanted to go to Viet Nam, but the other 2 didn't want to go. Oh well.......I do know where there are some good pubs in Sydney! :)

I'd love to be able to trade my tummy for a pouch, but I guess I'll just have to settle for my backpack. lol

Ooh, I'd love to get a post card... You used to have my address, but I'm not sure if you kept it, so I'll PM you again. That's really awesome of you!


I went to the zoo a month ago, and there was a bird place with dozens of birds like that, sooooo pretty!

ETA: well, the pics are showing up really grainy here, I'm not sure why. They're spectacularly coloured in real life.

Gotcha Bev and Mel!

I love birds with beautiful colors!
Ok, I love all birds. Cannot wait to get my bird feeders back up!

I envy you. I always thought visiting Australia would be fun. I can listen to them talk all day :wink:

I want one -- actually I want two things - a postcard AND one of those bright colored birds - would go so nice with my two parrots.

Will PM you my new addy.

Terri - if it's not too much trouble, I'm sure Joey would love a postcard of a kangaroo! His nickname (he's really Joseph) comes from when he was in my 'pouch'! :D

But the main thing is that you have a GREAT trip! :D

Terri,

wishing you loads of fun. Can't wait for the report. (Living vicariously through other people's adventures at the moment. Hope you don't mind.) :wink:

Oh, lucky you!!! Go and have a wonderful time (and a nice drink for me in one of those "pubs") and don't forget my postcard!! :D :D
