Australia In Pictures, Well, Parts of Sydney, Anyway
December 26, 2008 / 8:02 am • By Dr. Melissa ClouthierHi All! Well, I’ve figured out this much: my WordPress problem must be a Firefox problem, because the back end of my blog works fine in Safari. Go figure.
Today, we’re in Port Douglas. Flew up here yesterday. I’m finally sleeping better and used to the time change–although it’s been okay. The weather here is balmy and hot. Possibly tropical, certainly at least sub-Tropical. There is a rainforest that we might visit and huge hills–I’m not sure if they qualify as mountains. The beaches are gorgeous with tan, fine sand. It’s surreal, though. There are vast stretches of these gorgeous beaches with no one swimming. Sharks.
Tonight we went to a restaurant called the Pizza Shack and the food was excellent. I highly recommend the place if you’re in town. Get the garlic bread and the peking duck roles.
Tomorrow, we’ll be going to see the Great Barrier Reef. I’ll take pictures. It will be an all day affair with 400 people on one boat. Should be smelly considering the heat.
Hope you like the pictures!
A whole store dedicated to “blokes”.
Barack Obama is hugely popular and being invoked to sell stuff people don’t need. Hmmmm…..
Nerd chic is hawt in Australian. Actually, everyone is cool and relaxed from what I can see.
Lots of signs encouraging protecting the environment and protesting just about everything.
Very beautiful punctuation to the harbor.
I thought this looked like a sailing ship.
Iconic Sydney.
