G'Day, Mate!

Hello from the Whit Sunday Islands!! We enjoyed Sydney for our first few days in Australia. We stayed right near the city so we were able to take public transport all over and saw the beautiful Sydney Opera House, along with the Harbour Bridge and we took a few ferry rides around, including up to Manly. We also visited the gorgeous Bondi Beach - absolutely incredible beach, in the city! So nice. We also were able to meet up with Dean's cousin Brooklyn who is living in Sydney for a year. It was great to see her and her friend.

We arrived here in Airlie Beach yesterday and are camping for a few nights. In fact, this morning, there was a parakeet hiding under one of our backpacks in the campsite. For the next few days, we'll be exploring here along the coast and in the mountains nearby. On Tuesday, we leave for a 3 day sailing trip out into the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef!!! We are so excited.

We will update again from Melbourne!!
