Found a great house near the Uni that has a perfect backyard for cats and barbeques Studied a little.... Visited the south island of New Zealand - walked the Milford Track and stayed on a sheep farm HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Took advantage of a 5-hour layover in Sydney to see Darling Harbour and the Opera House Traveled to Bali - took a traditional Balinese cooking class and biked through the countryside HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! Drove to the Atherton Tablelands - viewed the magnificent Curtain Fig Tree and Lake Eacham Studied some more.... Had our first visitors from the US - Kenny's dad, sister Karen, and friend Brandy came for a two-week visit. We toured Townsville, drove to Cairns for a day at Kuranda (took the train up and sky-rail down), took a guided tour north to Cape Tribulation, and rented a houseboat for a four-day cruise in the picture perfect Hinchenbrook Island area. Kept on studying - will it ever end?.... Most recently, we've been planning a much needed trip home for the holidays. We can't wait to see everybody again! |
