    Miscellaneous Trip Photos

    At the airport in Salt Lake City.
    My first rugby match.
    At the ferry terminal 2 blocks from
    Tim and Rachel's.  This is where we
    caught the City Cat water taxi.

    Rachel and Emily in the pool.
    Kaitlynn and Mike liked eating on
    the porch in the morning.
    Our hosts Rachel and Tim.

    Can you believe it???  Wild
    cockatoos in a field by the
    highway!
    This is how we got Emily and 
    Kaitlynn around the town.
    Mary and Kaitlynn with the City
    Cat water taxi behind.

    Mary on the balcony at sunset.
    Girls gone wild.

    At a local park 2 blocks from 
    Tim and Rachel's where we would
    take Kaitlynn in the mornings to swing.
     

    Brisbane - New Farm Park


    What a great park just a 30-minute
    ferry ride from the condo - right on the
    river.


    Southwest of Brisbane - Mount Tamborine Nat'l Park


    There is a tree growing inside
    the outer tree.


    Kaitlynn's method of hiking - hitch 
    a ride with daddy.

     

    South of Brisbane - Gold Coast - "Surfer's Paradise"


    Kaitlynn on the Surfers Paradise
    beach.  It was REALLY wide, and
    very clean.  We didn't get into the
    water this day due to weather.

     

    Brisbane - Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary


    These are WILD lorikeets.  The
    sanctuary feeds them twice daily.  About
    100 of them came from the surrounding 
    trees at feeding time.  Boy was it loud!


    The sanctuary had many wallabies
    and kangaroos for us to feed.


    The first Koala bear any of us
    had ever seen.  He's coming down from
    the tree.

     

    North of Brisbane - Sunshine Coast - 
    Mooloolaba Beach and Glasshouse Mountains


    The Glasshouse Mountains are
    aboriginal holy grounds.

    We saw some wild kangaroos about
    a mile from this lookout site.

     

    East of Brisbane - North Stradbroke Island


    North Stradbroke is a ferry ride
    to the East of Brisbane.  Drive
    to the North end of the island and
    the water is perfect.  It's on the 
    Southern tip of the Coral Sea.


    We all did some snorkeling for
    sea shells in between kid-watching.
    Kaitlynn wanted little to do with the
    water.

     

    Brisbane - Botanical Gardens


    These strange trees try to grow
    roots out of their main branches.

     

    Cairns - Diving


    On the way out to a dive site.


    A fish which was eating scraps
    from lunch while we were at sea.


    Mike acting goofy on one of the
    dives.

    The photographer handed us a
    Pineapple Sea Cucumber.
    Mike about to bite in.
