Exploring "The Rocks"

After dinner, we were walking around The Rocks and spotted this bus. Nearby, a guide was leading a group on a walking tour. We thought it would be funny to join in at the end of the group. Nick actually followed them into a building until the guide realized he wasn't a part of the tour.  

After a few days in Sydney, we got into an airbus and flew north up the Australian coast to Cairns (cans).

Got my face painted and danced with the local Aborigines.. no big deal. Thanks, Dance Central.

Boomerang throwing is harder than it looks

 Riding to Kuranda Koala Gardens

Scary high little cable car hanging from a wire. Seems legit.

 Australian Olympic swimmers train in the Barron River. There are crocodiles in this river.

One of the few places you can hold a koala!

My computer does it again! One of my favorite parts!

 Last but not least.. the kangaroos!

P.S. If you ever go to Australia, ask about a "Tim Tam Slam". You won't regret it.
