Australia was Pretty
Sorry it took me a while to post this, but just look…
Sydney's Opera House at Night
Sunset behind the Sydney skyline. Our ferry coming back from one of Sydney's beach areas had pretty good timing.
Two random people, sunset, Sydney's Harbor Bridge. They look happy.
Saltwater crocodile among the mangroves, Port Douglas.
Catamaran at sunset in Port Douglas
Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas, aka the beach that almost killed me. Let's just say there weren't the nice fluffy clouds the first time we walked ALL THE WAY down the beach and back, including the little hidden 1-km beach cove at the far end, wading half the time, having sunscreen-less legs. Yeah, I couldn't walk for a couple days.
Beach at Cape Tribulation. It's as far north as you can drive without 4-wheel drive and one of those snorkel-type thingies on your car. Rainforest, untouched beach, gorgeousness.
Inside a hollow tree in the Daintree/Cape Tribulation rainforest. They say it's the oldest rainforest in the world (no super-huge trees though, as there was also a whole lot of logging going on here in years past).
The Daintree River as it meets the sea. The slogan of this region is "where the rainforest meets the reef." It's gorgeous.
This one, taken at sunset on our last day, says it all. Peaceful, crazily gorgeous, clean (the water, the air, the land, even the food), not overpopulated, calm, restorative, and did I mention truly beautiful?
