back from vacation in australia...what an amazing place! the people were so nice, friendly- and their accent was so cool. the beaches were amazing- we had gone at the perfect time...end of winter and we were there on the first day of spring; temp was 85. strange combination of trees- palms, pine and regular trees. very loud birds everywhere, open air shopping, foo-foo coffee galore- you almost can't find just a black cup of coffee, and if you ask for one- i am sure they think you are crazy. driving on the left side of the road- never knew which way i was supposed to be looking to cross a street...inlet water ways everywhere, homes are on stilts, and always with a border or a fence
