When most people think of Australia, they most likely think of koalas and kangaroos, but it's so much more!
Australia is also known for its beautiful beaches.  There's nothing like clean, clear ocean water and relaxing on the beach on a bright summer day!
This picture was taken on Australia's east coast, just outside of Brisbane, where my grandma lives.  Unfortunately I was there in their winter so it was too cold to swim.
This is my horse, Dyna, and me.  Well it's not really my horse, but we spent 2 and a half hours together riding through the rainforest.  It was beautiful and just a really great experience.  The only thing was that it started raining on us and my horse would randomly stop on the ride!
Like I said before, most people wouldn't think that Australia would be more than koalas and kangaroos and great beaches.  A lot of people think it's all deserts, but all along the coasts are farms and rainforests, it's beautiful. =)
These are just some beautiful scenery from around Australia.  Top:  Glass house mountains, each mountain has an aboriginal name and they are breathtaking.  Middle: Brisbane Harbor
Bottom:  Beautiful view of the beach in Melbourne.  It was about 45 degrees out and the ocean water was freezing yet people were still out surfing!
This is a picture of my cousin Kylie and I.  We spent the day getting to know each other while riding crappy rollercoasters at their local theme park.
This is my little cousin Rowan.  He's a really great kid and he's so smart.  He's already learning to speak Japanese at school!
